‘In that book is your soul.’ - Carl Jung

Week 44 of the Calendar Year

I’ve often quoted this passage from Carl Jung, in which he advised his analysand, Christiana Morgan, to begin to record her visions. It’s such an important guide to me that I want to share it in full and encourage you to attend to your journal in the same reverential and sacred way.

“I should advise you to put it all down as beautifully as you can – in some beautifully bound book. It will seem as if you were making the visions banal, but then you need to do that — then you are freed from the power of them… Then when these things are in some precious book you can go to the book and turn over the pages and for you it will be your church — your cathedral — the silent places of your spirit where you will find renewal. If anyone tells you that it is morbid or neurotic and you listen to them — then you will lose your soul — for in that book is your soul.”
