Jung travels the land of the dead, falls in love with a woman he later realizes is his sister, gets squeezed by a giant serpent and, in one terrifying moment, eats the liver of a little child. (“I swallow with desperate efforts— it is impossible — once again and once again — I almost faint — it is done.”) At one point, even the devil criticizes Jung as hateful.
I wonder how long it will take for the Jungians to realise that this is all a pre-birth memory and includes a lost twin sister?
The snake may be the umbilical cord and the liver is the placenta, all that remains of an identical twin perhaps?
Interesting.
