Katafalk: Karl Jung and the end of humanity

The “Katafalk” offers a revolutionary reading of the great psychologist Karl Jung as a mysticism, Gnostic and the prophet of our time.
This book is the first great rethinking of both Jung and his works after the publication of the Red Book in 2009, and its only serious assessment conducted by a classic scientist who understands the ancient Greek, hermetic and alchemical foundations of Jung"s thought. At the same time, she skillfully tells the forgotten history of Jung"s relationship with the great researcher of Sufism Henri Corben and the Persian Sufi tradition.
The strange reality of the “Red Book” or “New Book”, as Jung called it, is close to the essence of “Katafalka”. With painstaking and care, Peter Kingsley reveals her great secret, hidden in sight and anyway - as by magic - not noticed by all those who are not able to understand her mysterious spell text.
But the difficult truth about who Jung was and what he did is only a small part of what this book reveals. It also shows the whole width of that great river of the esoteric tradition that extends to the origins of our civilization. It exposes the amazing realities standing behind Western philosophy, literature, poetry, prophecy - both in antiquity and today.
In short, Peter Kingsley shows us not only who Karl Jung was, but who we ourselves were like the people of the West. Not just a brilliant spiritual biography, the “catafalk” offers the key to understanding why our Western culture dies. And being in itself with a spell text, it indicates the path to understanding what to do in these times a great crisis
