Psychology and Alchemy

1980C.G. Jung

4.9/5

I was reading Psychology and Alchemy on the bus when a young woman leaned in and ask me, "Is that Jung?"I told her that it was."Man, I've tried reading Jung before, but I've never made it all the way through. How are you liking it?""Well, it's ..." I blanked. And not only blanked, I realized that my mind had been blank for the last god-knows-how-long. As my eyes had been scanning the page, my thoughts had wandered so that not only could I not remember what the last sentence I had read said, but I couldn't recall what the chapter was about or, for that matter, understand a great deal of the book and that as a psychological layman I had been kidding myself that I could possibly finish a work written in such impenetrable academic language as to include citations in untranslated Greek, Latin and French. "... difficult to digest."She stared at me in wordless anticipation as if there were someway in hell I could possibly have something to follow up such an evasive remark."But I'm sure whatever part of my subconscious is actually paying attention is having a blast."
