Description: THE JUNGIAN INTERPRETATION OF RELIGION, PIONEERED BY CARL JUNG AND ADVANCED BY HIS FOLLOWERS, IS AN ATTEMPT TO INTERPRET RELIGION IN THE LIGHT OF JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGY. UNLIKE SIGMUND FREUD AND HIS FOLLOWERS, JUNGIANS TEND TO TREAT RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND BEHAVIOR IN A POSITIVE LIGHT, WHILE OFFERING PSYCHOLOGICAL REFERENTS TO TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS TERMS SUCH AS "SOUL" AND "GOD". HE WAS INITIALLY A CLOSE FOLLOWER AND ACOLYTE OF SIGMUND FREUD, BUT BROKE WITH THE FAMOUS FOUNDER OF PSYCHOANALYSIS TO PURSUE HIS OWN BRAND OF ANALYTIC PSYCHOLOGY. HERE IN THIS IMPORTANT HANDWRITTEN LETTER HE THANKS BIBLICAL SCHOLAR, DR. RIVKAH SCHARF, HIS STUDENT AND COLLABORATOR, WHO TAUGHT AT THE C. G. JUNG INSTITUTE IN ZURICH, FOR HER BIBLICAL RESEARCH ON THE LEVIATHAN, THE SEA SERPENT THAT APPEARS IN MULTIPLE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. HE ALSO ASKS FOR HER HELP WITH THE "SONG OF SONGS", OR THE SONG OF SOLOMON, THE BIBLICAL POEM, FOUND IN THE VULGATE, THE LATIN TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE FROM THE LATE 4TH CENTURY. CARL G. JUNG (1875-1961) HANDWRITTEN LETTER SIGNED, "C. G. Jung", 1 pg., 8.25 x 5.75, on his personal stationary, Zurich, 18 October 1944.He writes to his mentee, Dr. Rivkah Scharf (1907-87) Biblical scholar, long-time associate of Jung and one of the first Jungian analysts. Jung, the author, psychologist and psychiatrist and scholar, and above all visionary dreamer, here discusses several biblical references and request for her help with some religious research. Translated from German, In Full: "Dear Miss! Thank you very much for the Leviathan. He is captured well now. I do have another question, however, and I would be most grateful if you could find the answer to it. The matter concerns the Song of Songs VI:11 Vulgata: 'Nescivi anima mea conturbavit me propter quadriga Amindab ["I knew not: my soul troubled me for the chariots of Aminadab"].' This verse follows 10: 'Descendi in hortum nucum etc.' In the Z. B., verse 11 has been left out and Verse 12 Vulg., 'Revertere, Revertere, Sulamitis ["Return, Return, Shulamites"]...' has become 7:1 there (Z. B.). Verse 11 (Vulg.) is a corrupted verse. How does it read in the original? There is no hurry. Many thanks in advance! ...." Over the door of his house in Zurich, Jung had inscribed, in Latin: "Whether summoned or not God will be present." This sums up Jung's attitude to religion and spirituality, in his life and in his work. This handwritten letter is an important find and is accompanied by the original transmittal envelope.
