Jung's Red Book for Our Time

The spiritual malaise regnant in today's disenchanted world presents a picture of "a polar night of icy darkness," as Max Weber wrote already a century ago. T his collective dark night of the soul is driven by climate change-related disasters, rapid technological innovations, and opaque geostra­tegic realign­ments. In the wake of what policy analysts refer to as "Westlessness," the post­modern age is characterized by incessant distractions, urgent calls to responsibility, and in-humanly short deadlines, which result in a general state of exhaustion and burnout. The hovering sense of living in a time frame that is post-histoire induces states of confusion on a personal level as well as in the realm of politics. Totally missing is a grand nar­rative to guide humanity's vision. Thinkers, scholars, and Jungian analysts are increasingly looking to C.G. Jung's monu­mental oeuvre , The Red Book , as a source for guidance to re-enchant the world and to find a new and deeper under­standing of the homo religiosus . The essays in this series on Jung's Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions circle around this objective and offer countless points of entry into this inspiring work. This is the fourth volume of a multi-volume series set up on a global and multicultural level and includes essays from the following distinguished Jungian analysts and scholars: Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt : Introduction Robert M. Mercurio : The Red Book and our Contemporary Crises: Active Imagination, Mass Migration and Climate Change Heike Weis Hyder : The Burning Urgency of Psychodynamic Discoveries in The Red Book for Psychiatry and Psycho­therapy: A Key for Healing-Resonance of Soul, Love and Life Maria Helena R. Mandacar Guerra : Jung's Red Book as a Healing Symbol for Our Time Thomas Moore : A Book of Magic: Jung's Red Book and the Tradition of Natural Magic Bruce MacLennan : Liber Novus sed non Ultimus : Neoplatonic Theurgy for Our Time Gary Clark : Integrating the Archaic and the Modern: The Red Book , Visual Cognitive Modali­ties and the Neuro­science of Altered States of Consciousness John Merchant : The Red Book as Jung's Asclepiadean J ohn Ryan Haule : Jung comes back to Himself Henning Weyerstrass : C.G. Jung and the Creative Unconscious Becca Tarnas : The Participatory Imagination Dale Kushner : In Extremis : Jung's Descent into the Language of the Self Karin Jironet : On the Divine and Eternal Solitude of the Star: Jung's Seven Sermons Mirrored to Sufi Mysticism Katie Givens Kime : "So Long As We Are Not Mystics" What the Personal Art of William James and C.G. Jung Give Us Now Christian Gaillard : The Red Book in Venice Kiley Q. Laughlin : The Red Book : A Premodern Graphic Novelty Mark Winborn : Liber Novus and the Metaphorical Psyche: Revisioning The Red Book

Edited by Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt, the essays in the series Jung's Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions are geared to the recognition that the posthumous publication of The Red Book: Liber Novus by C.G. Jung in 2009 was a meaningful gift to our contemporary world. The Red Book can be considered as a contribution to the "Golden Chain" ( aurea catena ) of the world's imaginative literature reaching back to the ancient Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh . As Jung describes this tradition in a letter to Max Rychner, " Faust is the most recent pillar in that bridge of the spirit which spans the morass of world history, beginning with the Gilgamesh epic, the I Ching , the Upanishads, the Tao-te-Ching , the fragments of Heraclitus, and continuing in the Gospel of St. John, the letters of St. Paul, in Meister Eckhart and in Dante." The Red Book extends the "Golden Chain" into our era. Each of the 18 essays in this third volume of the series, Jung's Red Book for Our Time , is unique, and all of them converge on the central theme of the relevance of The Red Book for people today in search of soul under postmodern conditions. This is the third volume of a multi-volume series set up on a global and multicultural level and includes essays from the following distinguished Jungian analysts and scholars: - Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt: Introduction - Stephen A. Aizenstat The Quest for One's Own Red Book in the Digital Age - Paul Brutsche The Creative Power of Soul: A Central Testimony of Jung's Red Book - Joseph Cambray The Red Book Today: From Novelty to Innovation - Not Art but Nature - Linda Carter Jung as Craftsman - George B. Hogenson The Schreber Case and the Origins of the Red Book - Toshio Kawai From Internal to Open Psyche: Overcoming Modern Consciousness? - Samir Mahmoud Reading and Re-Reading Jung as a Muslim: From Traditionalist Critique to the New Possibilities of The Red Book - Christine Maillard C.G.

Popovic "I am as I am not" - The Role of Imagination in Construing Dialogical Self - Ingrid Riedel Transformation of the God-Image in Jung's Red Book Foundations for a New Psychology of Religion - Murray Stein Jung's Red Book as a New Link in the Aurea Catena - Zanet Prinčevac de Villablanca The Spirit of This Time: "No One's Child", a Postmodern Fairy Tale - Megumi Yama The Red Book A Journey from West to East via the Realm of the Dead - Mari Yoshikawa A Japanese Perspective on the Meaning of the Serpent in The Red Book

Do we, like Jung, need to leave the spirit of the time and follow the spirit of the depths, to call out "my soul, where are you?" through the windows of our now post-modern homes? We live in a digital world of incredible virtual inter-connectedness but at the same time fragmented and divided on many levels, including the psychological. The pace of life is rapid and ever accelerating. The spirit of the time is flux: It twitters. There is no sense of coherence in the whole. The guidance of a transcendent North Star is invisible to the naked eye of consciousness. Our existential crisis is not about the individual alone. It infects the entire human world, like the Covid-19 pandemic. Wars between cultural brothers and sisters, increasingly dire effects of climate change, economic disruptions, hunger, migration-these conditions affect everyone on the planet. Is there a spirit of the depths that can take us through this Inferno, perhaps toward the emergence of a meaningful narrative that can stabilize the global community and provide a collective sense of "supreme meaning?" This is the search for soul in the 21st Century. ¿¿Table of Contents INTRODUCTION by Murray Stein CHAPTER 1 Acts of Imagination: The Creation of the (Inner) World by Murray Stein CHAPTER 2 The Future of the Spirit in The Red Book and in Our Time by Romano Màdera CHAPTER 3 The Call to a Collective Red Book of Our Times: Personal Journeys in the Story-Web of Deep Imagination by Stephen Aizenstat CHAPTER 4 Voices of Wisdom in Times of Crisis: Responding to the Cries of Nature by Nancy Swift Furlotti CHAPTER 5 Jung as Modern and Postmodern in his "Red Book": Collective and Personal Crisis by Toshio Kawai CHAPTER 6 Collective Individuation in The Red Book: The Self in the Troubled World by Leslie Stein CHAPTER 7 Ecstasy and Subjection: Re-membering Dionysus and Addiction Treatment by Len Cruz CHAPTER 8 Whom Shall I Send?

The essays in this volume are geared to the recognition that the posthumous publication of The Red Book: Liber Novus by C. G. Jung in 2009 was a meaningful gift to our contemporary world. Similar to the volatile times Jung found himself in when he created this work a century ago, we today too are confronted with highly turbulent and uncertain conditions of world affairs that threaten any sense of coherent meaning, personally and collectively. The Red Book promises to become an epochal opus for the 21st century in that it offers us guidance for finding soul under postmodern conditions. This is the first volume of a three-volume series set up on a global and multicultural level and compiling essays from distinguished Jungian analysts and scholars.

Edited by Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt, the essays in the series Jung's Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions are geared to the recognition that the posthumous publication of The Red Book: Liber Novus by C. G. Jung in 2009 was a meaningful gift to our contemporary world. "To give birth to the ancient in a new time is creation," Jung inscribed in his Red Book . The essays in this volume continue what was begun in Volume 1 of Jung's Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions by further contextualizing The Red Book culturally and interpreting it for our time. It is significant that this long sequestered work was published during a period in human history marked by disruption, cultural disintegration, broken boundaries, and acute anxiety. The Red Book offers an antidote for this collective illness and can be seen as a link in the aurea catena , the "golden chain" of spiritual wisdom extending down through the ages from biblical times, ancient Greek philosophy, early Christian and Jewish Gnosis, and alchemy. The Red Book is itself a work of creation that gives birth to the old in a new time. This is the second volume of a three-volume series set up on a global und multicultural level and includes essays from the following distinguished Jungian analysts and scholars: - Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt Introduction - John Beebe The Way Cultural Attitudes are Developed in Jung's Red Book - An "Interview" - Kate Burns Soul's Desire to become New: Jung's Journey, Our Initiation - QiRe Ching Aging with The Red Book - Al Collins Dreaming The Red Book Onward: What Do the Dead Seek Today? - Lionel Corbett The Red Book as a Religious d104 - John Dourley Jung, the Nothing and the All - Randy Fertel Trickster, His Apocalyptic Brother, and a World's Unmaking: An Archetypal Reading of Donald Trump - Noa Schwartz Feuerstein India in The Red Book Overtones and Undertones - Grazina Gudaite Integrating Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions of Experience under Postmodern Conditions - Lev Khegai The Red Book of C.G.
