Yes! I just finished reading it about 20 minutes ago. I was quite surprised at the illuminated manuscript feel of Jung's Red Book. I didn't know he was capable of that. Some of the art in it definitely has the art nouveau style that was prevalent at the time. It will be interesting to read the translation of it when it is published.

I'm glad you are back at type c. :)

No problem. How's everything going with you, btw?

Going very well. Thanks! :)

Marriage is going strong, kids are doing well, and I've taken a leap into journalism, which is proving to be a good fit for my talents. :)

It sounds fascinating.

It reminds me of Dante's Inferno, or the Illiad and the Odyssey. I have a feeling it's going to be like a new myth. I love myths, and I haven't seen a new one in such a long time.

So what is it, just a big story based on Jung's introspection into his psychotic mind?

With illustrations.

:D

Yayyyy...

When it said "Holy grail of the unconscious" I was hoping/anticipating that there would be some sort of great insight or information I'd be able to use/incorporate. I'm not sure that this has that...

Probably not, but I bet it's a good read.
