Description

Even if alchemy is popularly considered the science that sought to transmute base physical matter, among the medieval alchemists were more interested in developing a discipline that would lead to the psychological and non secular transformation of the individual. C. G. Jung came upon in his study of alchemical texts a symbolic and imaginal language that expressed many of his own insights into psychological processes. In this book, Marie-Louise von Franz examines a text by the sixteenth-century alchemist and physician Gerhard Dorn to be able to show the relationship of alchemy to the concepts and techniques of analytical psychology. In particular, she shows that the alchemists practiced a type of meditation very similar to Jung’s technique of active imagination, which enables one to dialogue with the unconscious archetypal elements in the psyche. In the beginning delivered as a series of lectures on the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, the book opens therapeutic insights into the relations among spirit, soul, and body in the practice of active imagination.
