I didn't read any of the introduction or the scrutinies. Difficult book to get ones head around. Some brilliant, insightful material, but also moments of can this book just be over.

Knyga, kuri mane kankino tikrąją to žodžio prasme. Tikėjausi įdomaus, intriguojančio žvilgsnio pirmuoju asmeniu į pasąmonę, o radau tik sunkiai susirišančius sakinius, daugiaplanius, neaišku, ką norinčius pasakyti pasakojimus... bet gal tokia ir yra mūsų pasąmonė - vis dėlto neįžodinama, o gal toks yra Jungas - ne kiekvienam.

Its a very specialized book written and with images by Dr Carl Jung in Switzerland about 1915 to 1930 and some of it has summaries commentaries in more recent years (Dr Jung died in 1961). This is a book for psychiatrists psychologists Jungian analysts and those with that interest in these issues. He began this (and there are parts from the Black Book) after his break w Dr Freud and his awareness that he had lost his soul. This is his journey.... to return to Life and better understand himself and human beings he would analyze.... It is very very powerful and I was especially interested and gained from his talking about the Shadow

For years this writing was kept secret and it was recently thanks to Translator: Mark Kyburz; John Peck; Sonu Shamdasaniit was published translated and available

Actually i read this books because i'm interest why K-pop Artist like BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan/The Bulletproof Boys) made album inspired from [b:Jung's Map of the Soul: An Introduction|233234|Jung's Map of the Soul An Introduction|Murray Stein|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388205008l/233234._SY75_.jpg|225894] [b:Map of the Soul - Persona: Our Many Faces|45417631|Map of the Soul - Persona Our Many Faces|Murray Stein|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1556644891l/45417631._SY75_.jpg|70163133] and [b:Map of the soul - Shadow: Our Hidden Self|51095649|Map of the soul - Shadow Our Hidden Self|Murray Stein|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1581245468l/51095649._SY75_.jpg|75897554] So thats why i interest to start reading all the Carl Jung's works. I know i should read his biography [b:Memories, Dreams, Reflections|612188|Memories, Dreams, Reflections|C.G. Jung|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348081175l/612188._SY75_.jpg|848877] first since so many references about their music theory from this books so why not iam reading this books first?

I can say this books is personal journey of Carl Jung how to differentiate his soul. every soul is like an symbol what is in his life. we found there is an girl maybe it symbol as anima the unconscious feminine side of him. His spiritual journey is also interesting for me since i learn more another religion beside mine.

Jung also explain more about abraxas in almost end of the book's chapter. Both of Jung's book and Demian by Herman Hesse told us that Abraxas in the god who is difficult to grasp and the mother of good and evil. Abraxas also gives us some perspectives about balancing. what we got when we already into individuation. Thats why when people already found their individuation it can symbolic they already became god. it remembered me somehow when i watched EGO MV from BTS there is J-Hope became an mythology god and goddess such as Odin, Mithras, Zeus and Athen. somehow Athens who symbolic into an Sun's journey reminds me of God. so that means J-Hope became into individuation? He became god since he already found his Self? Hahaha it makes my head getting explode since so many BTS theories that based on from Jung's theories.

Thankfully i'm finished reading this pieces even well that means i have to try harder for understand it. But For sure if i doesn't know BTS i will not found this pieces :)
