The Cry of Merlin:\u00a0Jung, the Prototypical Ecopsychologist<\/i><\/strong>
\nThe Dairy Farmer’s Guide to the Universe Volume II
\nby Dennis L. Merritt<\/p>\n

Carl Jung can be seen as the prototypical ecopsychologist. Volume II of The Dairy Farmer\u2019s Guide to the Universe<\/i> explores how Jung\u2019s life and times created the context for the ecological nature of Jungian ideas. \u00a0It is an ecopsychological exercise to delineate the many dimensions of Jung\u2019s life that contributed to creation of his system\u2014his basic character, nationality, family of origin, difficulties in childhood, youthful environment, period in Western culture, and his pioneering position in the development of modern psychology. Jung said every psychology is a subjective confession, making it important to discover the lacuna in Jung\u2019s character and in his psychological system, particularly in relation to Christianity. Archetypically redressing the lacuna leads to the creation of a truly holistic, integrated ecological psychology that can help us live sustainably on this beautiful planet.<\/p>\n

Front Cover: Jung\u2019s relief carving on the side of his Bollingen Tower, a place he associated with Merlin. The inscription reads, \u201cMay the light arise, which I have borne in my body.\u201d The woman reaching out to milk the mare is Jung\u2019s anima as \u201ca millennia-old ancestress.\u201d The image is an anticipation of the Age of Aquarius, which is under the constellation of Pegasus. The feminine element is said to receive a special role in this new eon. Jung imagined the inspiring springs that gush forth from the hoof prints of Pegasus, the \u201cfount horse,\u201d to be associated with the Water Bearer, the symbol of Aquarius.<\/p>\n
