Jung, C. G. - Introduction to Jungian Psychology (Princeton, 2012)

March 24, 1925, Zurich. Cary Baynes noted:

Yesterday began the new order, that is to say, the first of the

seminars. These latter like the ancient wars as described in

the school text-books,

have their immediate and their remote

cause, of which the former is luminously set out in Jung’s circular

letter. It is said that when Miss Corrie received said letter

she felt as though her father had died.1 There was general

weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the faithful,

but rejoicing from this of the “Four Winds.” As I have

had only two analytical hours since the first of December, it

seemed a golden opportunity.

We meet Mondays and Thursdays from 4.30 to 6 P.M. in

the rooms at Gemeinde Strasse.2 Yesterday there were present

the following: Dr. Shaw, Dr. Kay (aet. 28, hailing from Australia,

seen by me for the first time, and notes as being very nice

looking), Miss Sergeant, Kristine Mann, Dr. Ward, Dr. Gordon,

Beckwith,3 (looking as though stung by a bee convinced

that the seminars mean the loss of his hour with Jung, which

they do not but his Anima was holding him to the conviction

as long as possible), Murray4 (aet. 32, lately arrived from Cambridge,

England, but sometime from the U.S.A.—came
