CARL JUNG AND THE KABBALAH
Erich Neumann
Neumann
nature
A Jewish disciple of Jung's, born in Berlin, who left for Tel Aviv in 1934 as the Nazi state closed in and practiced there as an analyst until his death — corresponding with Jung continuously across the distance, including through the November 1938 pogroms. He wrote The Origins and History of Consciousness (1949, with a foreword by Jung) and The Great Mother (1955).
⭐⭐⭐ THE DISCIPLE WHO WENT WHERE JUNG WOULD NOT. Late in life Jung told Neumann that "the Hasidic Rabbi Baer from Meseritz... anticipated my entire psychology in the eighteenth century" — naming, unprompted, the same Maggid of Mezritch this app's ✡ Hasidism wing already holds (⊙ h-maggid). Neumann took the remark seriously enough to spend his final years on an unpublished study, The Roots of Jewish Consciousness — not printed until 2019, decades after both men were dead — tracing exactly that parallel through Hasidic sources instead of only through Jung's own late reading of Knorr's Latin.
