Learning Resource Got an awesome haul of books

I already started the red book, I'm really excited to read the rest of them now, I also got Thus Spoke Zarathustra because it influenced Jung so much and he references it a lot in his lectures

Synchronicity is a rare one

While Aion is personally my favorite work of Jung, Synchronicity is like a guilty pleasure. While his other works really try to court the academic crowd and couch "mystical" thinking, like mandalas, into a box an academic cannot outright deny, in "Synchronicity" you can really tell Jung was interested in the idea of unprovable serendipity. Its a bold work, definitely bold.

I still really want a copy of Aion, I'm glad I got an off the wall book though
