Thoughts on Carl Jung?

2 posts in this topic

So I've started reading Jung. Started with one of his simplest books, Man and His Symbols. He mentions a lot about our unconscious and how it determines our behavior so much. I was wondering what are your thoughts on him. I noticed that the unconscious Jung refers to is more biologically based (aka primitive mind) than mystic or spiritual (as far as I've read). I know it's early (given that Im only beginning to read him ),but I haven't seen him say anything about non-duality and the more spiritual form of "unconsciousness"that mystics usually talk about.

this post blew my mind because I'm reading man and his symbols right now. As far as I can tell Jung doesn't talk about that kind of stuff. He isn't a nonduality teacher. He is still a genius and I highly recommend him. His take on archetypes, mythology, and psychodynamic theory is very good.
