An Introduction to Jung's Red Book

James Hillman on Jung and Active Imagination, DVD [2009] [this first segment of Hillman's presentation on the DVD, Jung and Active Imagination, end at 47:19 mins.] [passing references to the Red Book: The Red Book as Jung's account of his efforts to survive, a process that went on for 14-15 years; a book of religion, an engagement with Christianity; a "book of torment"; "a book of initiation"; a "heretical document"; a book that "revolutionizes"; the book, not really written as a book, is a "heroic task" (undertaken while Jung was dreaming of the death of the hero)]
