This much-loved classic of Jungian psychology explores the various stages of maturation and the challenges faced by anyone who seeks authentic independence. Dr. Harding describes in depth the task of each level of development as we venture into the world. Using the ancient Babylonian creation legend (the Enuma Elish) to illustrate the process, and relating it to modern dreams and case material, she makes it clear that the struggle to grow up has always been both difficult and liberating.

In this volume, the author and the redoubtable Professor Adam Brillig collaborate to create a sparkling love story, salted with balls and ball games, Eros, desire contained and the unpredictable world of the psyche, grounded at all times in the classical precepts of Jungian psychology: individuation, typology, complexes, active imagination, projection, conflict, enantiodromia, the holding of tension and the transcendent function. Jung often noted that the movement from three to four was difficult but psychologically crucial. As expressed in the alchemical Axiom of Maria — “One becomes two, two becomes three, and out of the third comes the one as the fourth” — we must regularly reassess where we are in our pursuit of wholeness. Read all about it in Not the Big Sleep, the author’s latest foray into the unknown. Daryl Sharp, B.Sc., B.J., M.A., is the publisher of Inner City Books and the author of twelve other titles in this series. ISBN 1-894574-16-8. Index 128 pp. 2006. $25.00 This engaging sequel to Not the Big Sleep (title 112) is a salute to relationships, the primacy of eros over logos, and the importance of consciousness. In song and dance, and with the help of Prof. Adam Brillig and various lovelies, Sharp leads readers joyfully through the thicket of some basic Jungian concepts, including the nuances of typology, archetypes, complexes and the enigmatic process of individuation versus individualism. This is Book 2 in The SleepNot Trilogy. Watch for Book 3, Eyes Wide Open: Late Thoughts, in 2007. Daryl Sharp, B.Sc., B.J., M.A., is a graduate of the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich and the author of 14 other books in this series |
