Jung and the Art of Being Stoned?

I read in 'Introducing JUNG: A Graphic Guide' that Carl Jung as a youngster would often sit on top of a rock playing Zen like mind-games.

I bought this book the day before the Byron Writers Festival opened, like I wrote about in this recent post -
What Are We Going to Do About the Ibis?

And then the next day at the writers festival I noticed all the artwork involving large stones scattered across the festival grounds.

David Walsh's 'Standing Stones: Pelican'
at the Byron Writers Festival

Artworks from the 2018 Byron Writers Festival?

Peter Neilson's 'Yanshi'

Rod Johnston's 'Large Bull Frog'

Looking at that rock frog above after listening to two podcasters talking about smoking toad  -
Transmissions From the Galactic Toad Storm?
I wonder if I had of chipped off a few pieces of the frog and put it in a pipe if I would have gotten severely stoned?-)

I'll take that as a yes then Donald:-)

Christopher Dean's 'Portal of Creation'

And I'm not even gonna to ask Donald his advice about this one. 
Time to go grab a drink instead at this point, I think:-)

'Introducing JUNG: A Graphic Guide' is a good read too, whether you're a stoner, or not.

And I wouldn't mind checking out more graphic content when it comes to books ... not rocks

I decided to extend this post and include the Al Borealis Jung video above because I did some further reading in my Jung book and found some more "stonework" from Jung's life.

I don't know if Jung was a Freemason or not, but he was very much the "widow's son" with his father dying when Jung was 20 years old, and he built Bollingen House/Tower out of stone when his mother passed away.

Jung's 'The Stone Speaks'

When Jung was 69 he had a heart attack and while recovering in hospital he claimed to have had a near death experience [and what sounds like a 'Twin Peaks' experience to me:-] where he went to a huge stone floating in space, detailed below in the book that I'm reading.

That kind of reminds me of a bad 70s movie for some reason;-)

I didn't know that Boorman's first choice to play Z was Burt Reynolds.

2018 and the Head Above Water Meme?

I think we're going to need a bigger boat;-)
