Jung Privately Drove Himself Into Visions
After his break with Freud, psychologist Carl Jung decided his intense inner experiences might hold value instead of just danger. In private, he deliberately entered a state he called active imagination: a method of letting images and inner scenes rise into the mind while awake, then recording them.Carl Jung and the Secret Red Book
He Filled Secret Journals First
Jung wrote these experiences into notebooks he called the Black Books. Later, he reworked them into a huge red leather-bound manuscript, adding paintings and interpretations over sixteen years.Carl Jung and the Secret Red Book
