Included are excerpts from Memories, Dreams, Reflections among Jungs other works.While never losing sight of the rational, cultured mind, Jung speaks for the natural mind, source of the evolutionary experience and accumulated wisdom of our species. Through his own example, Jung shows how healing our own living connection with Nature contributes to the whole.TABLE OF CONTENTS Jungs Own Relationship with Nature Consciousness Slipped from Its Natural Foundation Nature Was Once Fully Spirit and Matter The Primitive Knows How to Converse with the Soul We Have Conquered Nature is Merely a Slogan Our Civilizing Potential Has Led Us Down the Wrong Path We Know Nothing of Man Nature Must Not Win but Cannot Lose
