The Red Book of C.G. Jung - a reading and review - part 10 - Conclusion - The Turning of the Wheel
0The Red Book was written at at time of crisis conflict and change, for Jung and society at large. However, aren't we still going through such a time? Is now, and then, a reflection of the lead up to and transition into the Age of Aquarius? The red book contains a multitude of symbols of significance to his psychological journey, and also, to society at the time and ultimately us. It's all connected, it all is synchronized in a grand dance.
In this vein, the time the Red Book was published, has significance in a way that seems to be synchronicity, aligning with a rise in the archetypal idea of Millenarianism. We live in a time of Janus-like duality, and yet, a unison of opposites, and a time when there is a great turning of the four-spoked wheel of time - the eternal quaternary cycle, or should I say spiral?
Do the insights of Jung, which contributed greatly to the discipline of psychology, lead us to unity, to the totality of all things?
