Long-distance athletic endurance events provide a forum for experiencing the limits of the human condition and, thus, an invitation toward what otherwise appears unattainable; a forum for an emptying of oneself in physical and emotional exertion whereby a space is then opened for an experience of the luminous; and, finally, a space is created that reveals a meaning and purpose that otherwise was not apparent. This paper offers a first-hand, applied, and human example of the embodiment of the creative psyche by demonstrating the experience of Jung’s notions of archetype and symbol, the mythopoeic psyche, synchronicity, and the transcendent function. The paper does so by describing the training for and participation in Everesting-29029, a thirty-six-hour endurance event in which participants ascend a mountain enough times to equal 29,029 vertical feet—the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest. Because of the size of the mountain, the length of the event, and the extreme weather conditions possible at that altitude, the event becomes one of tremendous proportion made even more so since a large share of the climbing is done absent the light of day, inviting a rich play of the imagination.

Jung regarded his Red Book: Liber Novus as the record of “the numinous beginning, which contained everything.” In his lifetime, Jung only showed this book to a handful of trusted colleagues whom he thought truly grasped the nature of the book’s vivid confrontations with the unconscious. Its publication in 2009, and translation into many languages, now gives us all the opportunity to engage with it. In conversation with Patricia Martin, the internationally respected Jungian scholar George Bright discusses how and why Jung wrote and painted his Red Book, and draws out key themes that help us understand Jung’s encounter with his soul as chronicled in the Red Book. Bright suggests why reading the enigmatic work may be worth the effort in service of our own transformation.
