Clearly Distorted News, in Black and White

Philosophy: Carl Jung, Demonologist

A book secretly locked in a swiss bank vault (any relation to recent disclosure laws?), CG Jungs Red Book, is set to be published this october. Known as the book in which Jung, the well known psychoanalyst of the archetype and ghosts, wrote down his descent into his own mind, it was apparently too disturbing to publish… until now. Why now? Perhaps the worries of an old psychoanalyst about the Anime just cannot compare to newer, contemporary worries such as global warming, financial collapse, doom, and general nuclear-destructo-fears:

As Jung described it, he was visited by two figures, an old man and a young woman, who identified themselves as Elijah and Salome. They were accompanied by a large black snake. In time, the Elijah figure developed into a guiding spirit Jung called Philemon. Salome was identified by Jung as an anima figure. The figures, according to Jung, “brought home to me the crucial insight that there are things in the psyche which I do not produce, but which produce themselves and have their own life.”[link]
