Synopsis

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Jung's primary concern in Flying Saucers is not with the reality or unreality of UFOs but with their psychic aspect. Rather than speculate about their possible nature and extraterrestrial origin as alleged spacecraft, he asks what it may signify that these phenomena, whether real or imagined, are seen in such numbers just at a time when humankind is menaced as never before in history. The UFOs represent, in Jung's phrase, "a modern myth."

Anyway, it was quite interesting. Jung was apparently quite willing to accept that the UFO phenomena was real, and that either......more
