칼 G. 융의 『레드북』에 나타난 ‘무의식의 생태 영성’

The Red Book presents a series of Carl G. Jung’s dramatic exposition of visual dreams and fantasies that are the foundation of his understanding of the soul and collective unconscious. Jung worked on The Red Book for sixteen years (1914-1930) to understand his own inner images. The collective unconscious is here viewed as a source of higher spiritual wisdom. Jung attempts to formulate the significance of the unity of opposites and the wholeness of ‘Self.’ The idea of ‘Self’ is the subject of the totality and the prototype of Jung’s ‘individuation process.’ He offers various archetypical images of the unconscious such as Elias, Salome, Black Snake, and Philemon. The task of the eco-spirituality of unconscious lay in establishing a dialogue with the ‘theosophic figures’ and integrating them into consciousness with ‘hermeneutic experiment.’ The Red Book leads us to awaken to the depth of the totality of the conscious and unconscious, recovering the value of the ‘mythopoetic imagination’ which had been lost to the modern age.
