Carl Jung 1875 - 1961Whoever wants to know the human psyche will learn almost nothing from experimental psychology. It would be better for him to abandon exact science, put aside his scholarly habit, say goodbye to study and wander the world with a human heart. There in the horrors of prisons, asylums and hospitals, in squalid suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling halls, in the living rooms of the elegant, on the stock exchanges, in socialist meetings, in churches, in revivalist meetings and in ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in all its forms in one's own body, will gather richer knowledge than what textbooks thirty centimeters thick could give him, and will be able to cure the sick with a true knowledge of the soul human. -- Carl Jung Freud said that the purpose of therapy is to make the unconscious conscious. He certainly made this the goal of his work as a theorist. Yet it makes the unconscious sound unpleasant to say the least: it is a cauldron of seething desires, a bottomless pit of perverse and incestuous longings, a cemetery of frightening experiences that nevertheless come back to haunt us. Frankly, it doesn't seem like something I would want to make aware of! His younger colleague, Carl Jung, would make the exploration of this "inner space" his life's work. He was naturally equipped with a background in Freudian theory and a seemingly inexhaustible knowledge of mythology, religion and philosophy. Jung was particularly well versed in the symbolism of complex mystical traditions such as Gnosticism, alchemy, Kabbalah, and similar traditions in Hinduism and Buddhism. If anyone could make sense of the unconscious and its habit of revealing itself only in symbolic form, it would be Carl Jung. He also had the capacity for very lucid dreams and occasional visions. In the autumn of 1913, he had a vision of a "monstrous flood" engulfing much of Europe and lapping the mountains of his native Switzerland. He saw thousands of people drown and civilization collapse. Then, the waters turned into blood. This vision was followed, in the following weeks, by dreams of eternal winters and rivers of blood. He was afraid of becoming psychotic. But on August 1 of that year the First World War began. Jung felt that there had been a connection, somehow, between his… middle of paper… are a bit dangerous, especially from an economic perspective. They are good at analysis and are good entrepreneurs. They tend to play at the skill level.ESFJ (Extroverted Feeling with Sensitivity): These people like harmony. They tend to have strong duties and shouldn't. They may depend first on the parents and then on the spouses. They wear their heart on their sleeve and excel in service occupations that involve personal contact. ESFP (extroverted feeling with feeling): very generous and impulsive, they have a low tolerance for anxiety. They are good performers, love public relations and love the telephone. They should avoid academic activities, especially science.ESTJ (extroverted thinking with sensitivity): They are responsible peers and parents and are loyal to the workplace. They are realistic, down to earth, tidy and love tradition. They often find themselves part of civic clubs!ESTP (extroverted feeling with thinking): They are action-oriented, often sophisticated, sometimes ruthless people: our "James Bonds".
