Book Review, Psychology of the Unconscious by Carl Jung

Book Review, Psychology of the Unconscious by Carl Jung

This book is all about sex.  I don’t care what excuses the author uses because his precise thesis is paraphrased on again and again with further more sentences.  Everything goes something like, “A man must have sex but can’t just have it.”  Lots of spelling errors in the whole book give me a false impression of the author since people in our world do typically use constant grammar errors when they’re in lustful conversation on sex.  Some other writer who I’ve never heard of begins the book with a false impression of Carl Jung’s work, and, Carl Jung himself drifts off between metaphors and never provides enough individual examples to point at his thesis.  You can’t just give quotes.  You have to make something original of them.  A book like this is for humorous purposes even if we’re bombarded with horrible examples of insane patients and Jung connects them to religion.  This is absurd!  How can all the religions of the world be precisely fitted with crazy patients from a hospital?  It’s certain that insane people share some common things with sane people but we can’t just connect them all together under a false sense of equality and justice for all.  And who says that only religious people have anything to do with sex?  This literary piece is very unjust; it’s the might of humor by Jung to denounce that all religions are crazy even if there’s art in such systems of belief.  He’s basically suggesting that art is only made by crazy people.  A problem with the book is that he’s looking at the whole history of religion and trying to connect the dots between unlikely relationships.  To Jung, it’s just psychology, a mind thing; he doesn’t think that religions have been that separate from each other.  People often have different minds from each other and that’s why justice must serve the different lights and darknesses.  Of course, I do agree with Jung in a negative sense that a believer’s literal reliance on scriptures and holy books may lead that poor individual to misleading assumptions drawn from the mind’s interpretation of convoluted text with questionable attributes of thought.  We still have to find a better way to inform the religious folks of their history without being so blatant on vague concepts.  This book is like plenty I’ve read from colleges or university; that is, a writer chooses one idea and, by excusing him- or herself from having to put in effort on authorship, that one idea is paraphrased on over and over again in very similar sentences, thus inflating the book’s real content with a kind of watery effect.  I like the specific examples in the book; however, I’m looking for better quality extensions on the subject and not so much the let-the-teacher-remind-you nonsense.  There also has to be a distinction made between the founders of religion and the followers of religion since the art of religious expression can vary on status and person-type.
