The Jung-White Letters:
I have a huge correspondence, see innumerable people but have only two real friends with whom I can speak about my own difficulties; the one is Erich Neumann and he lives in Israel and the other is Father Victor White in England. ~Carl Jung, The Jung–White Letters, Page 334
Yesterday I had a marvellous dream: One bluish diamond-like star high in heaven, reflected in a round, quiet pool—heaven above, heaven below—. The imago Dei in the darkness of the Earth, this is myself. . . . It seems to me as if I were ready to die, although—as it looks to me—some powerful thoughts are still flickering like lightnings in a summer night. Yet they are not mine, they belong to God, as everything else which bears mentioning. ~Carl Jung, The Jung–White Letters, Page 60.
Before my illness I had often asked myself if I were permitted to publish or even speak of my secret knowledge. I later set it all down in Aion. I realized it was my duty to communicate these thoughts, yet I doubted whether I was allowed to give expression to them. During my illness I received confirmation and I now knew that everything had meaning and that everything was perfect. ~Carl Jung, Jung–White Letters, Page 103.
I cannot tell you how glad I am that I know a man, a theologian, who is conscientious enough to weigh my opinions on the basis of a careful study of my writings! ~Carl Jung to Victor White, 5Oct1945
Thus, when I said that God is a complex, I meant to say: whatever He is, he is at least a very tangible complex. You can say, He is an illusion, but He is at least a psychological fact. I surely never intended to say: He is nothing else but a complex. . . . ~Carl Jung to Victor White, 5Oct1945
I never allow myself to make statements about the divine entity, since such would be a transgression beyond the limit of science.. ~Carl Jung to Victor White, 5Oct1945
My personal view in this matter is that man’s vital energy or libido is the divine pneuma alright. . . . ~Carl Jung to Victor White, 5Oct1945
At the founding of the Institute, April 1948, Jung singled out her essay,” [“Introduction to the Foundations of Complex Psychology”] as “a work distinguished for its philosophical clarity.” ~Jung-White Letters, Page 38, fn 49
P.S. Mrs. Jung’s best regards. Miss T. Wolff is curious, whether you have written to Koepgen or not. ~Carl Jung, Jung-White Letters, Page 84
On 11 February 1944 Jung slipped and broke his ankle. Twelve days later, probably due to the immobilization following the injury, he developed a pulmonary embolism and suffered a heart attack. During three weeks of a semiconscious state Jung had a series of visions. After a year of convalescence Jung suffered a second heart attack in 4 November 1946. ~Jung-Neumann Letters, Page 199, fn 370
With that, I will end this mammoth letter. I would be very grateful if you would pass on warmest greetings from my wife and me to Miss Wolff. I will write to her soon. Erich Neumann, ~Jung-Neumann Letters, Page 198
Toni Wolff died of a heart attack on 21 March 1953. ~Jung-Neumann Letters, Page 335, fn 536
P.S. Mrs. Jung’s best regards. Miss T. Wolff is curious, whether you have written to Koepgen or not. ~Carl Jung, Jung-White Letters, Page 84
