While I was an undergraduate, I was introduced to the work of Hermann Hesse; I was enthralled with Hesse to the point of obsession. I read a critical biography of Hesse, and the name C.G. Jung was mentioned. I read his "Memories, Dreams and Reflections," along with Campbell's "The Hero With A Thousand Faces;" both texts seemed to compliment each other in astounding ways. I began reading various volumes of Jung's Collected Works before I really had any legitimate right to. I am drawn to Depth Psychology as a means of gaining self-knowledge. I am currently reviewing the basic structures of Jung's concept of the psyche; and researching the connections between Hillman's notion of "soul making" with Rilke's "Duino Elegies."
I am employed as a special education teacher with a local middle school.
