Thanks to Philip of alt.folklore.ghost-stories, who posted the following excerpt, noting: "Carl Gustav Jung was the founder of analytical psychology. Here is an excerpt from his memoirs, 'Memories, Dreams, Reflections,' [in which] he tells of one of the 'most curious events' in his life. He tried his best to find logical explanations, [though] his [ultimate] conclusion is that the event is indeed paranormal. To Jung, paranormal phenomena pointed to deeper mysteries."

McLynn's Carl Gustav Jung is a full-fledged biography by the author of five others.... McLynn, a professional biographer and neither pro- nor anti-Jung, recognizes that "Jung is in many ways a battlefield" and has sought to avoid absorbing "any of the conscious or unconscious parti pris the man and his doctrines provoke." The result is an evenhanded chronicle that follows Jung from cradle to grave and attempts to explicate the theories he constantly spun out. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Swiss psychoanalyst, Carl Gustav Jung, reared a Lutheran, abandoned the Christianity of his parents for the occult. Jung’s entire life and work were motivated by his detestation of the Catholic Church, whose religious doctrines and moral teachings he considered to be the source of all the neuroses which afflicted Western man. In his 1912 book, New Paths in Psychology, Jung wrote that the only way to overthrow the neuroses inducing Judeo-Christian religion and it’s "sex-fixated ethics" was to establish a new religion—the religion of psychoanalysis.

Early in his career, Carl Gustav Jung worked with Freud. His work captured the public interest, because he drew attention to the Tao religion's conceptualisation of the Yin and the Yang, which have become confused with the Western dichotomy between male and female.

Carl Gustav Jung was born on the 26th of July 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland, where his father was a Protestant clergyman. Early in his life, the family moved to Laufen and then to Klein-Hüningen, where Jung remained until his entrance into the Gymnasium at Basel in 1886. Endowed with a particularly vivid inner life, Jung found schooling difficult, but ... entered the University of Basel in 1895 to study medicine. After eventually deciding to specialise in psychiatry, Jung took his first professional post in 1900 at the Burghölzli Mental Hospital, Zürich; a position that was later supplemented in 1905 with a lectureship in psychiatry in the University of Zürich.

Carl Gustav Jung was born July 26, 1875, in the small Swiss village of Kessewil. His father was Paul Jung, a country parson, and his mother was Emilie Preiswerk Jung. He was surrounded by a fairly well educated extended family, including quite a few clergymen and some eccentrics as well. The elder Jung started Carl on Latin when he was six years old, beginning a long interest in language and literature -- especially ancient literature. Besides most modern western European languages, Jung could read several ancient ones, including Sanskrit, the language of the original Hindu holy books.
