Recorded in Los Angeles on August 30, 1959
Rare audio recording of Manly P. Hall lecturing on Dr. Carl Jung's book about the flying saucer phenomenon. This is a remarkable talk, and I've listened to it a few times.
The original title of the talk was: An Analysis of Jung's Recent Book on Flying Saucers.
Please Note: The audio quality is rough at first, but clears up dramatically after about 6 minutes.
Jung's short book, Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky, was originally published in 1958. I've found this to be a tough read, Jung's writing is quite dense, and this lecture helped me better understand some of the core ideas. This book is now available in Kindle form.

I found this amazing image online. I had seen this a few years back, and its simplicity and boldness were an inspiration for the cover of the first book in The Messengers series. Whoever the artist was, they sure knew what they were doing. Beautiful.

ReplyDeleteIs it any good?
I'm still yet to watch that movie 'Skyman' that the Blair Witch director made about a character based on you.
Have you watched that movie yet?
Can't seem to get it out here in Australia at present.
You sure about your theory on the book cover artwork Mike?

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing this Mike. This book ought to be required reading for anyone interested in UFOs. Jung makes a good case for UFOs as psychic projections but near the end of the book remains open to the possibility of the phenomenon relating to beings from elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised that during his time in his castle or away from formal work, when he conceived many of his more mature ideas, that he was being informed from external sources. Though he credits his internal guide Philo on (?) with most of the credit. Which is probably valid. Freud thought he was crazy exploring so called occult material but Jung remained open minded. Albert Einstein that Jung was completely wrong about his archetypes because he ignored the larger Greek concept which related to primordial patterns. Had Jung gone down this path instead he may have deepened his understanding of some UFOs as psychic projections - primordial manifestations from the life force itself. Still his contribution with this book is significant.

ReplyDeleteNot sure Jung needed to deepen his understanding of anything— he was well aware of UFOs being primordial manifestations of the life force... in fact that’s the idea he developed.
Actually Anonymous Jung didn't reach that conclusion. He got stuck on a more superficial notion of archetypes. He could have gone further but he didn't.
ReplyDeleteI am here to give my testimony about Dr Oluta who helped me.. i want to inform the public how i was cured from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) by Dr Oluta, i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedies on HERPES and I saw comments of people talking about how Dr Oluta cured them. When I contacted him he gave me hope and sent Herbal medicine to me that I took for just 2 weeks and it seriously worked for me, my HERPES result came out negative. I am so happy as I am sharing this testimony. My advice to you all who thinks that there is no cure for herpes that is Not true just contact him and get cure from Dr Oluta healing herbal cure of all kinds of sickness you may have like
