Jung
hands down I always choose Jung
Well yeah, of course because with Freud it's always "p*enis this and envy that". Sometimes a girl just wants to eat a damned banana.
LOL happy Saturday morning to ya...
But I think Jung is one of the most brilliant albeit STRANGE and interesting characters that I have come across. A dinner conversation would be enthralling.
I read a book about Carl Jung about ten years ago, pretty heavy going as I remember and actually downright boring in places, but to each his own. -
lol....maybe you picked a bad author...what did it focus on JLM?
My memory is good but it's short. Biographical perhaps. Pretty much covered his life and his work.
okay...that's fair...here are some quotes from him so you can get a feel for his take on the human perspective:
- Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
- We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.
- Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
- The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.
- When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.
- We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Geez, Sal, I don't think there was anything that interesting in the book! I really like (and understand) the first one.
He's, as far as I'm concerned, the best writer of Southern Fiction today.
Doesn't give interviews, maybe can't even carry on a conversation. But, if I had the chance, I'd like to have dinner, or lunch, or coffee, with the guy.
thanks eh! :-D
No biggy. Did I see you say you have software which enables you to link with a library ?
