At the same time it skillfully tells the forgotten story of Jung's relationship with the great Sufi scholar, Henry Corbin, and with Persian Sufi tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strange reality of the \u003cem\u003eRed Book\u003c\/em\u003e, or \"New Book\" as Carl Jung called it, lies close to the heart of \u003cem\u003eCatafalque\u003c\/em\u003e. In meticulous detail Peter Kingsley uncovers its great secret, hidden in plain sight and still -- as if by magic -- unrecognized by all those who have been unable to understand this mysterious, incantatory text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the hard truth of who Jung was and what he did is only a small part of what this book uncovers. It also exposes the full extent of that great river of esoteric tradition that stretches all the way back to the beginnings of our civilization. It unveils the surprising realities behind western philosophy, literature, poetry, prophecy -- both ancient and modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short, Peter Kingsley shows us not only who Carl Jung was but who we in the West are as well. Much more than a brilliant spiritual biography, \u003cem\u003eCatafalque\u003c\/em\u003e holds the key to understanding why our western culture is dying. And, an incantatory text in its own right, it shows the way to discovering what we in these times of great crisis must do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBook details\u003c\/em\u003e 844-page paperback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 844\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47410533499058,"sku":"9781999638412","price":64.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/227c63b3c015fad7ee2f6e706740ad9d.webp?v=1778287421","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/catafalque-carl-jung-and-the-end-of-humanity-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
