3.0

Well, this one was dense as hell. Incredible insights about the nature of self are peppered throughout this Charlie Day Pepe Silvia meme of a book. Jung pulls together so many threads of psychology, Gnosticism, alchemical thinking, and other strains of philosophy / mysticism that it’s nearly impossible to discern whether he’s on a higher level genius than your or that he probably could’ve used a bit more therapy himself. Regardless, the insanity of it all is worth it for the gems found within about the importance of reconciling the ego to a much more mysterious, broad, and paradoxical self than it wants to admit being a part of.
