Supplement: Jung and the Nazis Little Dictionary Further Reading Index Boyhood Soul-Searching Carl Gustav Jung was a strange melancholic child who had no brothers or sisters until he was nine, so he played his own imaginary games. Am I the one sitting on the stone? Or am I the stone on which he is sitting? This was his secret stone with a life of its own. He was born 26 July 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland, the only son of a Swiss Reformed Church Evangelical minister. The family were steeped in religion. Jung had eight uncles in the clergy, as well as his maternal grandfather. His earliest playgrounds were churches and graveyards. Men in black would bring a black box and talk of “Jesus”. He even heard his father talk of a “Je-suit” (sounds like Je-sus), and that was “something specially dangerous”. This Jesus can’t be trusted. He “takes” people to himself and they’re put in a hole! Jung says that his intellectual life began with a dream at the age of three. In his dream, he descended into a hole in the ground. It leads him into a large chamber, a red carpet and a golden throne on which a strange being sits. Huge like a tree trunk but fleshy… Then I heard my mother… “That’s the man-eater!” And I awoke in terror. Decades later, Jung came across a reference to the motif of cannibalism in the symbolism of the Mass. And only then did the image of the “man-eater” make sense to him. He realized that the “dark Lord Jesus, the Jesuit and the phallus were identical”. They represented a dark creative force in nature, the investigation of which he pursued throughout his life.
