 of men they feel crushed by Jung and therefore they say I must say different for instance they take a concept of Jung and they give it another name but it means exactly the same thing just to be original and creative and not just a Jungian or so on and that all shows that they haven't understood that it is a reality with which one is confronted and that one's task is to confront oneself with the same reality with which he has confronted himself that's the same thing and then if one does that oneself and if one stays loyal to one's own work on oneself one is constantly by one's own shadow dreams etc are reminded that one is not Jung and hasn't gotten that far as he got but the danger is inflation you see it a bit the same thing in in St. Paul is always bordering inflation because he saw Christ and he deduces a bit that he he wouldn't say he is Christ but you know he has the great word now to tell it's a very different fate than Jung had I mean to come after Jung is a very different fate and one has to fully realize and have the humility to also recognize this is an exceptional man how in my idea he is of the size of Lao Tse or somebody like that very rare that's a sort of man which is born every 2000 years in history and one cannot compare oneself with him one has to try to learn from him what one can and know that there are enormous dimensions which we don't understand yet which he understood so one is really contained in him in his work I mean it's in one way in one way one is contained in him inevitably but in another way not because each time you realize it something in yourself in your own way then it becomes yours I for instance found out that when I read Jung I can read his books 20 times and I don't keep them in mind so to speak by heart but when I do some creative work research work and then read his books and it ties in in what I am doing in my own work then it clicks and then it stays forever then it says if I had acquired it I really got the point but only when I've creatively worked out my own approach by and that is really coming back to what I said before getting out of the animus who who would simply quote Jung and say now quite apart from the animus quoting Jung what do I feel what do I see what have I experienced in my life where am I what can I say not because Jung says it but because I know it myself too for my own reasons and only that is valid the rest can be just forgotten again or if people once in the psychological club there was a big quarrel we got all pulled into it and Jung afterwards told us I include myself told us you all behaved as if you had never heard of Jungian psychology you see complex is hidden the whole thing's gone because it hasn't yet become really yours it couldn't go if it had become yours is that how you see the splits that have happened in many of the training groups partly that and partly it's also that most of the pupils of Jung have only gotten one facet of Jung the Jung had so many facets that he also talked very different differently to the different people he gave them what they could take or where they were open he talked with one person about that and with another person about something quite different for instance I can say he never talked to me because it never came up between us about parapsychology or very rarely also very little about astrology because I have no leaning in that direction now I hear from other Jungians the most amazing things he has told them about these things I have just missed out on that because I wasn't there when I worked with him so you see everybody got a facet instead of realizing that Jung had so many facets and that the one the Jung they understand isn't the whole Jung it's their Jung it's it's the facet they they got so the splits are 80% unnecessary but the the great splits really come as Jung once said about certain groups they have given up Jungian psychology and they have taken to prestige psychology
