description: In this book Alfred Ribi reaches back across two millennia gathering and engaging an extraordinary collection of writings. With authority and fluency Ribi draws together the antique texts of Hellenism Gnosticism Hermeticism and Alchemy and illustrates how these nurture the visionary work of C. G. Jung.Into this tapestry Alfred Ribi weaves personal insights gained over half a century of experience as an analytical psychologist. He illuminates how the dreams and visions of modern individuals intertwine with the tradition that Jung indicated to be a spiritual antecedent of his psychology.This is the second volume of a two-volume work. The first volume The Search for C. G. Jung and the Tradition of Gnosis was published in an English translation in 2013. That volume served as a general introduction to the more detailed and multifaceted exposition presented in this second volume. This volume is addressed to serious students of Hermeticism Gnosticism and the works of C. G. Jung. It will richly reward those who give it their diligent attention.About the AuthorAlfred Ribi was born in 1931.
