Jung’s Encounter with the Soul of India
Carl Jung visited India for three months in 1937-38 and made several observations about India, exploring his ambivalence about Hinduism and Yoga. He also expressed awe at the mystery of Buddhism, as well as a fascination with the Eros of Islam. Jung asserted that in the dreamlike world of India, the primitive and the civilized aspects coexist without a split. India offers an “Other Way” of civilizing people, without suppression, violence or rationalism. In contrast, the Western person lives in the rational/cultural world, with the primitive aspect of psyche dissociated in the unconscious – without the modulating impacts of culture and consciousness. We will explore Jung’s encounter with the soul of India in the context of contemporary analytical thought.
