“The circle (or sphere) is a symbol of the Self. : -Image: ABSTRACTIONS by Jonni Jone"The circle (or sphere) is a symbol of the Self. It expresses the totality of the psyche in all its aspects, including the relationship between man and the whole of nature. Whether the symbol of the circle appears in primitive sun worship or modern religion, in myths or dreams, in the mandalas drawn by Tibetan monks, in the ground plans of cities, or in the spherical concepts of early astronomers, it always points to the single most vital aspect of life - its ultimate wholeness."by Aniela Jaffé, ‘Symbolism in the Visual Arts'Man and His Symbols (Carl G. Jung)Aniela JafféAniela Jaffe (1903-1991) s-a nascut la Berlin, intr-o familie de evrei. In timp ce studia medicina la Hamburg, regimul nazist a constrans-o sa paraseasca Germania si, astfel, a emigrat in Elvetia. La Zurich a facut cunostinta cu C.G. Jung si cu cercul psihologiei analitice. Cu timpul, a ajuns ea insasi o analista recunoscuta. In 1948-1954 a fost secretara la Institutul C.G. Jung proaspat infiintat. In ultimii ani de viata ai lui Jung, l-a insotit ca secretara personala si colaboratoare, iar din 1957 au lucrat amandoi la alcatuirea biografiei lui, Erinnerungen, Traume, Gedanken, aufgezeichnet und herausgegeben von Aniela Jaffe (Amintiri, vise, reflectii, consemnate si editate de Aniela Jaffe, aparute in versiune romaneasca la Humanitas, in 1996). A locuit la Zurich pana la moartea survenita in 1991, scriind ea insasi numeroase carti ce sunt considerate importante pentru intelegerea de catre un cerc mai larg a psihologiei jungiene.

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass : Lone Tree, Colorado  USA on Sunday, July 27, 2003 :::I  bought this book in 1974. I'd already read it 7 or 8 times (as a child) but felt as if I needed to read it again. Since then, I've read it another 3 or 4 times. It's now time to pass it along to my dear friend Hannes aka Jan Loeffler. He's seen the movie but has never read the book. He's in for a wonderful treat.Along with sending the book to my friend, I made a special 7 card series of Artist Trading Cards and a couple of bookmarks which I tucked inside the book. source: BookCrossing.com JonniJones' Journalpicture: a DVD screen shot by HALofZAADZ
