THE RED BOOK
Bound in red-leather, a hand-written and vividly illustrated manuscript by Carl Jung documents what he called his "confrontation with the unconscious," beginning around World War I. It was, he claimed, the source of all his later thinking in psychology. But the extent of his dreams, fantasies, arguments, and encounters were revealed only when the astonishing Red Book was published in 2009. Marilyn Powell scouts its dangerous contents.

        More “Musings” on The Creative
What makes a person creative? We will view different perspectives from both a poet (Robert Duncan) and a Freudian analyst (Adam Phillips). And we will include a glimpse into Jung’s creative process in The Red Book. We will also read an essay on the effect of the “Muse” in the lives of male “geniuses.” And we will examine the consequences for a woman who, in spite of a strong character, became a “muse” – Lou Andreas-Salomé.

Murray Shugar is the editor of the Montreal Jung Society newsletter and website.

        The Transformation of Desire
In his maturation as a poet Rilke lived a creative transformation from longing to being. This may be what the creative process of Individuation is. We will consider this thesis in light of Robert Hass’ Introduction to Stephen Mitchell's translation of The Selected Poetry of Maria Rainer Rilke, plus two of the poems. We will also read a selection from Jung and look closely at a painting by William Blake, “The Good and Evil Angels.”

Ted Fillery graduated from the C. G. Jung Institute in 1998. He taught at the University of Toronto and practiced as a Jungian analyst in Toronto from 1996 to 2007 before moving his practice to Montréal.
