The VII Sermons to the Dead appears in the closing chapters of the Red Book and presents a cosmological framework that underpins the entire undertaking of Jung’s Liber Novus. It provides the foundation of Jung’s notion of individuation and reveals the full nature and purpose of the individuation process. It is the formulation of Jung’s own myth which he set out to discover when he embarked on his experimentation with the inner figures in 1913, and then documented in his Black Book diaries. This lecture will give an introduction to the text of the VII Sermons in the context of the Red Book and Black Books, it will explain its role in individuation, and its implications for the work of analytical psychology.
