>Jung was associated with Freud for a period of approximately six years, beginning in 1907. Over those years, their relationship became increasingly acrimonious. When the final break of the relationship came in 1913, Jung retreated from many of his professional activities to intensely reconsider his personal and professional path.[6] The creative activity that produced Liber Novus came in this period, from 1913 to about 1917.
>Biographers and critics have disagreed whether these years in Jung's life should be seen as "a creative illness, a period of introspection, a psychotic break, or simply madness."[7] Anthony Storr, reflecting on Jung's own judgment that he was "menaced by a psychosis" during this time, concluded that the period represented a psychotic episode.[8] According to Sonu Shamdasani, Storr's opinion is untenable in light of currently available documentation.[9]
>During the years Jung engaged with his "nocturnal work" on Liber Novus, he continued to function in his daytime activities without any evident impairment.[10] He maintained a busy professional practice, seeing on average five patients a day. He lectured, wrote, and remained active in professional associations.[11] Throughout this period he also served as an officer in the Swiss army and was on active duty over several extended periods between 1914 and 1918, the years of World War I in which Jung was composing Liber Novus.[12] Jung was not "psychotic" by any accepted clinical criteria during the period he created Liber Novus. Nonetheless, what he was doing during these years defies facile categorization.
anyone read this thing?

Yeah I actually have one at home right now.
It's been lying around for a couple of years now.
Can't read it comfy in my bed, really would need to put aside dedicated time to study it, it's really rather academic.
Not the best book to start reading Jung, but it is really great.

Is this really Jung's work?
I've read some of his stuff, forever ago, but is this work that he did? I'm going to need to buy this for sure.

Jung's entire body of work is built around many esoteric concepts
He is well versed in alchemy and occult practices of various cultures and has written books on ufos/supernatural experiences as well
>>
the book is interesting, but ultimately it is his personal journal which is only relevant to his path.

For thirty bucks you're looking at what's called "the reader's edition" it's a paperback book of the text WITH OUT the pictures.
To get an idea of the actual book See; >>18981483

already read that dingus, i mean is there value to it

Im not surprised jung got into the occult. Once you start work in visualization and the sub and unconscious... you will discover real ass magic. Its inevitable. Thats how i got into it, completely unintentionally.
