"So true, Kay.  I'm sure all of us on this site are on inner journeys with similarities to that described by Jung in Red Book.  As for bringing the opposing energies to peace, I'm reminded of an intriguing observation on pg. 319 of RB:

" . . . after…"

"Yes, the paradox Jung so often speaks to helps break things up a bit for me.  The quote on nonsense being the brother to supreme meaning got me thinking about my tendency to disregard life's "chatter", input that for whatever reason seems…"

""Nonsense is the inseparable and undying brother of the supreme meaning." (Pg. 230, top left column)

When I'm reading, I underline what resonates with me, what makes sense that I don't want to forget.  What is "nonsensical", rambling, meaningless…"

I shake his hand as if to say

"Adele-- I love that you took Jung's cue in your own writing.  I'm not sure if I want to do the same or not; it feels like my inner critic gets more than his fair share of attention already!  But the exercise might bring to consciousness judgments…"

"Glad you joined the group.  I liked the video too.  I can relate with the ruthlessness of his unconscious.  Don't know if you are familiar with the enneagram, but I'm a 1. We're known for the relentless inner judge. (Not that I think Jung was a 1).…"
