Koti,

I haven't read nearly as much Jung as I'd like, but considering how influential he's been in the worlds of pychotherapy, psychology, religion, myth, etc...well, I'd definitely say he's worth reading! (A professor I know just mentioned a good Jung-book to start with...but I don't remember the title. Oy--I'll ask him again.)

He's definitely on my 'somebody-I'd-like-to-know-a-whole-lot-more-about' list :toothy-grin:

How would telling people to be nice to one another get a man crucified? What government would execute Mister Rogers or Captain Kangaroo?
