From early on in his life, Jung recognised two distinct personalities within himself. No 1 was involved in the every day ordinary world, was rational and ambitious, studies science and wanted civilised prestigious life.
No 2 connected with the expereince at the age of three, sitting on a granite stone and feeling something eternal in the stone, that was also in him. This side held meaning and connection.
Jung struggled most of his life with the conflict between the two persons. He became attracted to psychiatry while studying medicine when he read in a book by Kraffe Ebbing that psychiatry is subjective and the psychiatrist responds with his own personality. He felt his two personalities could connect in psychiatry.
"Here at last was a place where the collision of nature and spirit became a reality"

2020 upcoming events
Jung Society 2020 Virtual Program
Dear Members and Friends,
These sure are extraordinary times. As such, the Jung Society wants to take every precaution and has suspended our monthly lectures for the time being. The good news is that we will be hosting them online on Zoom! The timing will be the same, but we will all be meeting on line. Welcome to the future. Our first lecture on April 17 will be free for everyone. You will have to register for the event by emailing me, and I will send you the link. I imagine there will be a few glitches, but together we will sort this out. I will email a flyer before each event with more information.
The AGM will also go ahead at 6:15 on Friday the 17 of April. Members will be notified closer to the event.
Take care everyone and stay vigilant.
Sincerely,
Brittain Garrett

2020 - Celebrating Irene Rix Weaver
The 2020 Program is a celebration of Rix Weaver.
We want to honour and acknowledge her contribution by sharing the lectures she gave in Karnak in the late 1970’ and early 80’s. Rix regularly lectured here at the resort created by the acclaimed actress Diane Cilento in Douglashire, far north Queensland. Rix and Diane shared a love of the sufi mystic Ibn al Arabi.
In each of these lectures we can hear her distinct voice. She brings to life many of the important concepts of Jungian thinking through examples, stories, deep insight, and lived experience. They are all fabulous, and her lecture on Ego and Self and Destiny is in particular highly recommendable. Enjoy!
M. I. Rix Weaver: An Interview with C.G. Jung
On November 22, 1955, I visited Dr. Jung at his home in Kusnacht.
Though I had met Jung and had listened to him speak, I looked forward to having a period with him alone.
When I came to Zurich in 1951 to study at the C. G. Jung Institute, Jung no longer lectured students, but he did grant some personal interviews.Article about Rix Weaver "A Leading Spirit"
Irine Rix Weaver was one of life's high achivers - but her main claim to fame calaverated this week, is as the person who brought Carl Jung to Australia, HELEN CROMPTON reports.
M. I. Rix Weaver: An Interview with C.G. Jung
A series of lectures celebrating Irene Rix Weaver, the first Jungian analyst in Australia. Rix trained in Zurich and met with Jung, including one very profound hour. She founded the CG Jung Society of WA (then known as the Analytical Club) on Jung’s birthday in 1954. She wrote Jung of her intention and he replied you are indeed in Ultima Thule where Analytic Psychology must be such a novelty. I am glad you have found some response; in this respect you are unusually lucky.
