  Answer to Job

  C. G. Jung

  Of all the books of the Bible, few have had more resonance for modern listeners than the Book of Job.  
   
  For a world that over the past century has witnessed horrors the like of which could not have been imagined by earlier generations, Job’s cries of despair and incomprehension are all too recognisable. The visionary psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung understood this and responded with this remarkable book, in which he set himself face to face with 'the unvarnished spectacle of divine savagery and ruthlessness'.  
   
  Jung perceived in the hidden recesses of the human psyche the cause of a crisis that plagues modern humanity and leaves the individual, like Job, isolated and bewildered in the face of impenetrable fortune. By correlating the transcendental with the unconscious, Jung, writing not as a biblical scholar but 'as a layman and physician who has been privileged to see deeply into the psychic life of many people', offers a way for every listener to come to terms with the divine darkness which confronts each individual.  
   
  Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) founded the analytical school of psychology and developed a radical new theory of the unconscious. Translated by R. F. C. Hull.

  Carthage - Its Carnage Its...

  Carthage was an ancient city-state located in what is now modern-day Tunisia. Founded by Phoenician settlers in the ninth century BC, Carthage would rise to become one of the most influential and powerful empires of the ancient Mediterranean world, only to be destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. Despite its destruction, the Romans later lavishly rebuilt it, cementing its place in history. During its peak in the fourth century BC, Carthage was the capital of the Carthaginian Empire, a force that dominated the western Mediterranean with unmatched power and influence. 
  The origins of Carthage can be traced back to around 814 BC, when settlers from Tyre, a prosperous Phoenician city-state in modern Lebanon, arrived on the northern coast of Africa. Following the fall of Phoenicia to the Neo-Assyrian Empire in the seventh century BC, Carthage emerged as an independent entity. Over time, it expanded its influence, securing political and economic control over vast territories across the western Mediterranean. By 300 BC, Carthage controlled a sprawling empire that included the coastal regions of northwest Africa, southern Iberia (modern-day Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar), and a series of key islands such as Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Malta, and the Balearic Islands. This expansion was achieved through a complex network of colonies, vassal states, and satellite territories. 
  Carthage’s strategic location played a significant role in its success. Its access to fertile agricultural lands and critical maritime trade routes allowed the city to thrive economically and become one of the wealthiest and most powerful centers of commerce in the ancient world. Carthage’s trade network extended across the Mediterranean and beyond, reaching as far as West Asia, West Africa, and northern Europe.

  The Triangle of Power -...

  Alexander Stubb

  The liberal world order that emerged after the Second World War – and expanded triumphantly following the Cold War – is unravelling. Multilateral cooperation is giving way to multipolar rivalry and conflict. Global norms are eroding. What comes next will define the rest of the century; the search is on for a new global framework – a rebalancing of power.
  In The Triangle of Power, Finnish President Alexander Stubb argues that we are living through a hinge moment in history, akin to 1918, 1945 or 1989. A new international system is taking shape, driven by three major forces: the Global West, the Global East and the Global South. At the centre is the escalating competition between the United States and China, as both try to forge bilateral deals and regional alliances, but it is the Global South that will ultimately determine whether the future tilts toward cooperation or fragmentation.
  Drawing on decades at the front lines of diplomacy, and blending personal insight with political and academic experience, Stubb delivers a passionate call for values-based realism and dignified foreign policy – and warns that unless the West learns to listen, it will lose its place in the world it once led.

  Mayan Myths and Legends -...

  The Maya civilization is one of the most enigmatic and awe-inspiring cultures of the ancient world. Flourishing for thousands of years in the dense jungles of Mesoamerica, the Maya built vast cities, developed a sophisticated writing system, and mapped the heavens with astonishing accuracy. Yet, beyond their architectural and scientific achievements, the Maya were a deeply spiritual people, weaving a rich tapestry of myths, legends, and sacred beliefs that connected them to the cosmos. Their mythology was not mere storytelling—it was a living force, shaping their rituals, governance, and daily existence.  
  At the heart of Maya spirituality was a complex pantheon of gods and supernatural beings, each governing different aspects of life, death, and the afterlife. Unlike many Western traditions that separate the divine from the earthly realm, the Maya believed that the gods were intimately involved in every facet of existence. Deities such as Itzamná, the creator god, and Chaac, the bringer of rain, were both revered and feared, their influence reflected in ceremonies, offerings, and astronomical observations. The legendary Popol Vuh, often referred to as the “Maya Bible,” preserved many of these sacred stories, including the epic journey of the Hero Twins, Hunahpú and Xbalanqué, who overcame the lords of the underworld, Xibalba, to restore cosmic order.  
  Maya mythology was deeply intertwined with their concept of time and destiny. Their intricate calendar system, which included the Tzolk’in (a sacred 260-day calendar) and the Long Count, was not merely a tool for marking days but a means of understanding cosmic cycles and divine will. Priests and scribes interpreted these calendars to determine auspicious dates for everything from coronations to warfare. Prophecies and celestial events were seen as messages from the gods, guiding the fate of individuals and entire kingdoms.

  1. Does self-knowledge come through searching? - 16 July 1949 
  • What is it that most of us are seeking? 
  • Does clarity come through searching and trying to find out what others say? 
  • Can incessant search and longing give you the extraordinary sense of reality or 
  creative being that comes when you really understand yourself? 
  • Without knowing your background and the substance of your thought, where 
  it comes from, surely your search is utterly futile and your action has no 
  meaning. 
  • The responsibility for any action depends on ourselves, not on others. 
  • Q: Do I have to be at any special level of consciousness to understand you? 
  • Q: The movement of life is experienced in relationship to people and to ideas.
