The Red Book exerts a powerful, even transformational influence on all who encounter it. \u00a0George Hogenson will discuss the ways in which Jung uses a dense symbolic structure to create imaginal spaces within which the transformative process can take place.<\/p>\n
Near the end of the draft for the second book, Liber Secundus, of the Red Book Jung remarks that \u201cI must catch up with a piece of the Middle Ages\u2014within myself.\u201d \u00a0What is interesting about this comment is that it implies that something about the Middle Ages lies before Jung, not behind in the past. \u00a0In the same vein, Jung composes the Red Book as if it were a medieval illuminated manuscript, but claims that it presents teachings for the future. \u00a0To make sense of this double registration of the Red Book we must understand how Jung\u2019s understanding of the archetype must always include the positing of a telos toward which the arche directs us. \u00a0The Red Book itself, I believe, is in its entirety an archetypal image, that shows us Jung\u2019s path to connect the arche and the telos, and provides a model for our own explorations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
