description: More than an insightful psychologist Carl Gustav Jung was the twentieth century's greatest articulator of the primacy of mind in nature a view whose origins vanish behind the mists of time. Underlying Jung's extraordinary body of work and providing a foundation for it there is a broad and sophisticated system of metaphysical thought. This system however is only implied in Jung's writings so as to shield his scientific persona from accusations of philosophical speculation.The present book scrutinizes Jungs work to distil and reveal that extraordinary hidden metaphysical treasure: for Jung mind and world are one and the same entity; reality is fundamentally experiential not material; the psyche builds and maintains its body not the other way around; and the ultimate meaning of our sacrificial lives is to serve God by providing a reflecting mirror to Gods own instinctive mentation.Embodied in this compact volume is a journey of discovery through Jungian thoughtscapes never before revealed with the depth force and scholarly rigor you are about to encounter.
