Throughout his career the Swiss psychologist C.G. Jung maintained that he was strictly a scientist, not a philosopher or metaphysician, and certainly not a mystic.
Yet Jung was fascinated with the occult, the mystical, and the esoteric, and it played a central role in his life, from his early childhood days to his last years.
From seances to UFOs, alchemy to visions, Jung took the occult and mystical very seriously.
In this Saturday morning salon, we will look at how the supernatural informed Jung’s life and work and how we can benefit from understanding his ideas today.
