01:10--"What creating _The Red Book_ did for Jung is what this work can do for present-day readers: stretch, expand, enliven, and inspire the mind to develop new modes of thinking and perception. It is not just our thoughts (mental contents) that are challenged but also our way of thinking (mental process)."

07:22--Zanet Prinčevac de Villablanca looks at the documentary film, ""No One's Child," as a poignant expression of loss of Soul in postmodern times."

12:00--Linda Carter's essay "views Jung's meticulous care in constructing his _Red Book_ as the work of an artist-craftsman."

12:38--Mathew Mather focuses on "Coniunctio, the union of Opposites, a motif that would become central in Jung's later work.... Transformation through imagination that flows through the hands is a common feature of Carter's and Mather's essays."
