Because I have so much free time to spend on getting myself psychologically insane-er, I've started reading parts of C.G.Jung's Red Book out of a whim. Aka, someone I know was talking about it today and I felt left out.
Anyway. Been reading it as if it were a novel. And I'm thinking I'm missing the point. Still, an amusing read for an ignorant like me.
I would write the entire 40ish pages I've read so far if I could. That I like this book worries me. Haha.

Quote:I spoke to a loving soul and as I drew nearer to her, I was overcome by
horror, and I heaped up a wall of doubt, and did not anticipate that I thus
wanted to protect myself from my fearful soul.
You dread the depths; it should horrify you, since the way of what is to
come leads through it. You must endure the temptation of fear and doubt,
and at the same time acknowledge to the bone that your fear is justified and
your doubt is reasonable. How otherwise / could it be a true temptation and a
true overcoming.
