Until yesterday I had not heard of Carl Jung... and now suddenly his name has been in my face 5-6 times over the last 2 days from several different sources... He sounds very cool...

Why is he suddenly coming out of the woodwork?
What does his teachings mean to people?
What books are good to read?

He was very much into researching synchronicity and that is what you have been experiencing the last couple of days !

LOL... he's been on my signature for a couple of weeks now...

He's awesome... just google him. You'll find all kinds of interesting things.

I don't agree with everything he said, but... hey... Jung is one of the biggies that you study in Psychology.

Here's a cool video. It bounces in between the lyrics to the song and the ideas behind it defined by Carl Jung. It's pretty good, cool song too.

That was one of the 6 things - why have I only just noticed it now? (I'm guessing, because I didn't need to know about him before).

Thanks! I never got into Tool, because their sound is too aggressive for my personal taste, but they seem to have some good thinking heads on their shoulders!

I am a member of the Jungian Society in my city. I have had an unwavering interest in him for years. Along with studying his work, I studied his life, which believe it or not, lead me here to IS.

Do tell more about this society, and what you discuss and read!

I am Jungian Citizen

There are membership fees, not too expensive, but what you get is a two hour window twice a month, to listen to knowledgeable guest speakers, from all over the country and even world, lecture on Jungian Theory. The last half of the session is open to questions and discussion. There isn't a required reading schedule or anything, the lecture itself is pretty informative as is the open forum for interpretations. I would say the bulk of our discussions has been centralized around archetypes and personal mythologies. I've only been a member for around a year or so.
