When Carl Jung embarked on the extended self-exploration he called his ‘confrontation with the unconscious’, the heart of it was “The Red Book”, a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. Here he developed his principal theories – of the archetypes, the collective unconscious and the process of individuation – that transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treatment of the sick into a means for higher development of the personality. While Jung considered “The Red Book” to be his most important work, only a handful of people have ever seen it. Now, in a complete facsimile and translation, it is available to scholars and the general public. It is an astonishing example of calligraphy and art on a par with “The Book of Kells” and the illuminated manuscripts of William Blake. The publication of “The Red Book” is a watershed that will cast new light on the making of modern psychology.
Thursday, August 20th 2009, Joseph Moshe called into a U.S. radio station claiming to be an individual involved in government bio-weapons research: the information he provided, if not least subsequent events, appeared to corroborate this claim.
On air he alleged that a pharmaceutical company had been preparing vaccines as a bio-weapon (vaccines that essentially spread disease rather than contain it) in the Ukraine.
The following day his car was surrounded by twenty – or more – police on the grounds that he had made “threats to the Whitehouse”, was pounded with round after round of teargas (which, interestingly, he was immune to: as are most military personnel) and – after an hour’s standoff, all recorded live by CNN – eventually arrested.
He hasn’t been heard of since. There are rumours, among others, that he either was deported to Israel or that he now resides in a Californian mental institute.
Approximately two months later the Ukraine reported an unprecedented epidemic of a Swine Flu hybrid sweeping the nation, dubbed the “black lung” virus.
The mainstream media dropped the story immediately after his rather dramatic disappearance.
In 2007 I produced this documentary about the mystical experiences of sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick.
Philip K. Dick is considered by many to be one the world’s greatest science fiction writers ever; as a sufferer from mental illness himself he had the ability to turn his hallucinations about the universe into an extraordinary writing career.
During his lifetime, Dick produced an astonishing amount of prize winning novels and short stories, which were translated into more than 25 languages. Three of his literary works were transformed into blockbuster movies: Blade Runner, Minority Report and Total Recall.
Several years before his death, Philip started having mystical experiences that affected his everyday life. As a result, he started to wonder if what he had imagined for his stories was real and if life was just an illusion or the creation of each person’s subjectivity.
This in-depth program explores Philip K. Dick`s world, a universe full of mysteries and intrigues.
‘VALIS’ is a fascinating book to read. I also recommend ‘a scanner darkly’.I hope to read more of his work in the near future.
Robert Green, the man speaking in this video, has allegedly just been arrested. Mainstream UK media are refusing to pick up the story as it’s “too hot to handle”? Please pass this on and maybe we’ll get to the bottom of it.
