5) Diversifying music collection and wikipediaing everything. I recently acquired Santana's Abraxas; after reading up on the Gnostic deity, Wikipedia took yours truly to the page of Jung's "Seven Sermons to the Dead." The thought of a brilliant, renowned psychologist turning his intellect towards the understanding of mysticism, the soul and spirituality kills me. I refuse to believe he was simply losing grip with reality. His writing suggests he was still lucid--the material is concise and accessible considering it is dealing with an esoteric subject:
"Sermo VII
Yet when night was come the dead again approached with lamentable mien and said: There is yet one matter we forgot to mention. Teach us about man.
Man is a gateway, through which from the outer world of gods, daemons, and souls ye pass into the inner world; out of the greater into the smaller world. Small and transitory is man. Already is he behind you, and once again ye find yourselves in endless space, in the smaller or innermost infinity. At immeasurable distance standeth one single Star in the zenith.
This is the one god of this one man. This is his world, his pleroma, his divinity."
It is clear that Jung's bright mind was experiencing the extraordinary. The question remains: was he describing his loss of sanity or a divine input when he wrote The Red Book and the Seven Sermons to the Dead? "[T]here are things in the psyche which I do not produce, but which produce themselves and have their own life."
