"I was just about to put my 2 cents in on Lance Owens, when I saw your post. I have really enjoyed these online lectures too. He also authored an interesting article in "The Gnostic," Issue 3 entitled: "Hermeneutics of Vision, C.G. Jung and Liber…"
"“Can you not wait? Should everything fall into your lap ripe and finished? You are full, yes, you teem with intentions and desirousness!---Do you still not know that the way to truth stands open only to those without intentions? . . . . We…"
"For those who haven't heard it yet, I would highly recommend Lance Owens' Fall and Spring 2011/2012 lecture series on the Red Book. It begins in the middle of the page on this site (the first session called, " C.G. Jung: The Puzzle of Story and…"

"Some of us have already read the Red Book and others are somewhere along the way. I’d like to start again at the beginning. Each week, I will post a quote with a comment and invite anyone and everyone to respond either to the quote posted or by…"
"Tamara,
It is too much of a commute from Kentucky!!! Rats!!
I would enjoy hearing more about your approach. Have you thought of publishing what you do?

"Glad you joined the group. I liked the video too. I can relate with the ruthlessness of his unconscious. Don't know if you are familiar with the enneagram, but I'm a 1. We're known for the relentless inner judge. (Not that I think Jung was a 1).…"
Hi Tamara! Thrilled to see that you'd joined the site--won't you check out the group The Twilight Zone about various forms of dreamwork? I'd love for you to add your ideas and comments.
