Seven Sermons to the Dead by C.G. Jung (Wisefool Press)

Full text here."Seven Sermons to the Dead," written by Carl Gustav Jung in 1916, is a mystical and esoteric work that represents a departure from his more traditional psychological writings. In this treatise, Jung explores themes of spirituality, mysticism, and the psyche, addressing the dead as a symbolic representation of the unconscious.The sermons are presented as a dialogue between the author and seven deceased figures, including the Gnostic deity Abraxas. Jung delves into the concept of the Pleroma, a divine realm of fullness and unity, contrasting it with the limitations of the material world. The sermons articulate Jung's fascination with Gnostic thought and its relevance to his own psychological theories.Throughout the text, Jung emphasizes the need for individuals to confront and integrate the various aspects of their unconscious, ultimately striving for individuation and spiritual enlightenment. "Seven Sermons to the Dead" serves as a bridge between Jung's early experiences with the unconscious and his later psychological theories, offering readers a glimpse into his evolving understanding of the human psyche and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and psychological realms. The work remains a cryptic yet insightful exploration of the depths of the human mind and spirit._______________________________________Visit Jedvaita.com and receive a free copy of The Tao of the Large-Breasted Goddess with the Shapely Behind: The Story of the Writing of the Tao Te Ching ( a play in 6 acts), and to receive email updates when new content is made available._______________________________________ WisefoolPress.com: The Search Is Overhttps://www.wisefoolpress.com/ Jedvaita.com: The Way the World Unfoldshttps://jedvaita.com/ Amazon Jed McKenna Pagehttps://www.amazon.com/-/e/B001JS057A_______________________________________The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.-William Blake_______________________________________
