I have timothy leary's transltion of TSOTGF.. no introduction =( I didn't know he had one...

jung is probably one of the few dudes I 'admire'...

His work on the 'group unconciousness', archetypes, the aspects of the self, his personality theory.. all extraordinary... in his autobiography he mentions many occult happenings.. and can get VERY spiritual in flavor towards the end.

obviously, he is known as a 'reviver' of western alchemy... However I have never seen any works of his contributing directly to western occultism... (not to say that his philosophy on psychology does not contribute greatly to the subject...)

 

I 'admire' him so much, I framed a picture of him, peering through a tome, in black and white. To me, this picture represents the archetype of the old wise man-- manifest.
