Jung's Post Cardiac Visions: Image and Individuation (intro presentation)
INTRO LECTURE: In 1944 at the age of sixty-nine, C. G. Jung falls unconscious from a heart attack and is suspended between life and death. While in this liminal space, Jung experiences visions that would significantly impact his life and his life's work. Jung's deep depression following his heart attack is a common post-cardiac phenomenon, which places patients at increased risk for further attacks. Jung's three-week engagement with his nightly post heart attack visions allows him to reengage in the world and produce "a fruitful period of work." Jung writes in Memories, Dreams, Reflections: "A good many of my principle works were written only then [post heart attack]" (297). This lecture will focus on the archetypal significance of Jung's post cardiac visions and their relevance to the individuation process leading to new insights.
