Last month, the NYT Magazine cover-featured an article about Carl Jung‘s infamous Red Book, or, as the Times called it, The Holy Grail of the Unconscious:

This is a story about a nearly 100-year-old book, bound in red leather, which has spent the last quarter century secreted away in a bank vault in Switzerland.  The book is big and heavy and its spine is etched with gold letters that say ‘Liber Novus,’ which is Latin for ‘New Book.’  Its pages are made from thick cream-colored parchment and filled with paintings of otherworldly creatures and handwritten dialogues with gods and devils.  If you didn?

Carl Jung - a true and deliberating mind/psyche scientist. A realistic and understandable approach and leaving a great legacy regarding his pioneer excursions into and about the human mind.We miss him,but of course, time moves on and along with this circumstance there will be others comparable or greater to continue his drumbeat in this mortal life.
Carpe Diem!

I think the damn globe depends on it lest the cockroaches inherit the joint
