![]() ![]() ![]() There are a few things I will take away from it (the whole immortality thing) but the rest I will forget and it's not a book I would read again. Whilst at times the writing is beautiful, I still find all of his references to sex to be lewd and jarring, I am no prude but his way of talking about sex cheapens it for me and always seems out of place in his novels. I struggled in the beginning to stay interested and almost decided to give up, but I am glad I continued as the story and characters became more interesting as it went on (although it could definitely do with some heavy handed editing of chapters). It had more of a storyline and dare I say it, the almost random musings did seem to actually tie in with the book and become relevant (although they are talked about to DEATH - e.g Beets, Pan, scent ect). I will admit though that I do much prefer this one to Still Life with Woodpecker. Hmm it seems I am never sure quite where to start with Tom Robbins' books. ![]()

Similar to his contemporary, Sigmund Freud, the fundamental distinction in Jung’s framework is between that which is conscious and that which isn’t (i.e., sub / unconscious). In order to see how Jung arrived at this conclusion, we must first understand the central dynamic in his theory of the psyche: the relationship between the conscious ego and the unconscious mind. Indeed, I will contend that Jung saw the unconscious as playing an almost God-like role in the psyche.
