Before starting the book, you should realize that Jung's consciousness vastly surpasses your own. If he puts something in a way that seems unnecessarily difficult, the proper procedure is to assume that he knows what he is doing and knows something you don't. If you make the assumption that you know better than he does and start out with a critical attitudedon't bother; the book isn't for you. Jung's depth and breadth are absolutely awesome. We are all Lilliputians by comparison, so when we encounter Jung we feel inferior, and we don't like it. To read Jung successfully we must begin by accepting our own littleness; then we become teachable." |
