And are not Jesus and Paul prototypes of those who, trusting their inner experience, have gone their own individual ways, disregarding public opinions?” Pg. 69 The book brings together Jung's essays on general questions of analytic therapy and dream analysis. It also contains his profoundly interesting parallel between the transference phenomena and alchemical processes. The transference is illustrated and interpreted with a set of symbolic pictures, and the bond between psychotherapist and patient is shown to be a function of the kinship libido. Far from being pathological in its effects, kinship libido has an essential role to play in the work of individuation and in establishing an organic society based on the psychic connection of its members with one another and with their own roots.

Experimental Researches, volume 2 in The Collected Works, edited by Gerhard Adler, includes Jung's word association studies in normal and abnormal psychology; two 1909 Clark University lectures on the association method; and three articles on psychophysical researches from American and English journals in 1907 and 1908. [9] [10] Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious is part 1 of volume 9 in The Collected Works, and includes numerous full-color illustrations. [19] [20] In this volume, Jung's theory is first established through three essays, followed by essays on specific archetypes, and finally a section relating them to the process of individuation.

Essays which state the fundamentals of Jung's psychological system: "On the Psychology of the Unconscious" and "The Relations Between the Ego and the Unconscious," with their original versions in an appendix. Since it is believed that man is what his consciousness knows of itself, he regards himself as harmless and so adds stupidity to iniquity. He does not deny that terrible things have happened and still go on happening, but it is always “the others” who do them. (Set blame on others, denying his self-weakness and faults) Supplementary Volume B - The Psychology of the Unconscious (first version of Symbols of Transformation)In 1911, Jung said that the book "laid down a programme to be followed for the next few decades of my life." It covers many and varied fields of study, including among others: psychiatry, psychoanalysis, ethnology, and comparative religion. It became a standard work and was translated into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and Italian as well as English. Its somewhat misleading title in English was The Psychology of the Unconscious. In the foreword to Symbols of Transformation, Jung wrote: An eloquent witness to Jung's greatness of mind and heart. His idea of the archetype involves profound attitudes towards man's existence and intimates values through which very many people have found a new significance in their lives.

Practice of Psychotherapy, volume 16 in The Collected Works, contains essays on aspects of analytical therapy, specifically the transference, abreaction, and dream analysis. There is also an additional essay, " The Realities of Practical Psychotherapy", which was found among Jung's posthumous papers. [30] [31] The State, in turn, demands enthusiasm, self-sacrifice, and love towards itself, and if religion establishes the concept of the “fear of God”, then the dictator State takes good care to provide the necessary terror. in that process the state begins to slowly substitute the individuals own belief with that of the state. The state claim it offers protection against such terrors, but in truth, it only offers outer protection from the world. While religion offers both inner serenity (protection of the soul) and outer protection.

It's only too clear that if the individual is not truly regenerated in spirit (anchored by religion), society cannot be either, for society is the sum total of individuals in need of redemption. The salvation of the world consists in the salvation of the individual soul. (God helps those who help themselves: إن الله لا يغير ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم)
