Books like The Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons to the Dead

I took away two things from this book.1) Carl Jung is a total loon.2) His ideas make a lot of sense.Granted, I was a bit tipsy for about 1/3 of the book, but the ethics it illustrates were pretty compelling.This book contains both the Seven Sermons to the Dead in their entirety and Hoeller's commentary on them.The Sermons were a blast to read, but it really took Hoeller's exegesis to get at their core meaning, couched in mysticism as they are.To boil things down, Jung says that typical western morality (derived from Judeo-Christian traditions) is wrongheaded. Repressing certain parts of the psyche and creating a guilt-based system is unhealthy. The gnostic system instead recognizes the "darker" parts of humanity and is focused on finding balance rather than flagellating ourselves for certain built-in behaviors.Obviously it's more complicated that just that. That's why there's a book about it. It's a book you should read.
