INNER CITY BOOKS was founded in 1980 to promote the understanding and practical application of the work of C.G. Jung.
Cover: Front face of the Bollingen stone carved by C.G. Jung. It is an eye. The little figure in the center is the pupilla (yourself) which you see in the pupil of another's eye. The Greek inscription, translated by Jung, reads: "Time is a child playing like a child playing a board game the kingdom of the child. This is Telesphoros, who roams through the dark regions of this cosmos and glows like a star out of the depths. He points the way to the gates of the sun and to the land of dreams." (Memories, Dreams, Reflections, p. 227) For a transcription of the original Greek, see below, page 114.

1 The New Myth
The myth of the necessary incarnation of God... can be understood as man's creative confrontation with the opposites and their synthesis in the self, the wholeness of his personality.... That is the goal... which fits man meaningfully into the scheme of creation and at the same time confers meaning upon it. C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections.
History and anthropology teach us that a human society cannot long survive unless its members are psychologically contained within a central living myth. Such a myth provides the individual with a reason for being. To the ultimate questions of human existence it provides answers which satisfy the most developed and discriminating members of the society. And if the creative, intellectual minority is in harmony with the prevailing myth, the other layers of society will follow its lead and may even be spared a direct encounter with the fateful question of the meaning of life.
It is evident to thoughtful people that Western society no longer has a viable, functioning myth. Indeed, all the major world cultures are approaching, to a greater or lesser extent, the state of mythlessness. The breakdown of a central myth is like the shattering of a vessel containing a precious essence; the fluid is spilled and drains away, soaked up by the surrounding undifferentiated matter. Meaning is lost. In its place, primitive and atavistic contents are reactivated. Differentiated values disappear and are replaced by the elemental motivations of power and pleasure, or else the individual is exposed
