Carl Jung - Face to Face (1959) - Special Edition with Newspaper replies and Jung's Letters

- Table of Contents below -
"[I have to ask] 'Have you read a book I have written within the last 30 years? And did you understand it?'" - Professor Carl Jung, 1960.
Presented here is a historical overview with one of the most-famous interviews of Jung, including the immediate public replies in newspaper articles, letters to the editor, and a number of Jung's letters.
The BBC interview's media has been wholly remastered from multiple references/sources: video has been clarified, audio has been completely revised, the whole waveform hand-edited.
In early 1959, producer Hugh Burnett and journalist John Freeman traveled from their Face to Face studio in England, to Switzerland, to interview Carl Jung at his home in Zurich. Shortly after an endearing story about Jung's grandchildren stealing his hat, Freeman asks about spirituality, along these lines: "Did you believe in God when you were young?" Jung: "Oh yes." Freeman: "Do you still believe in God?" Jung: "Difficult to answer. I know. I don't need to believe. I know".
Immediately after the broadcast, replies were published in London in The Observer, The Guardian, Daily Herald, etc., with both delighted and dismissive tones. Talk around the town, and many people wrote the editors. Others wrote to Jung. At the end of this video, I read the articles, letters to the editor, and letters which Jung wrote directly in response about the fallout from the interview.
Dr. Jung expresses frustration at the frequent misunderstanding of his work. Worse still, the intentional disregard. Throughout his life he had patience with those who make demands for reducing complex ideas to simple ideas, as it appears in his two volumes of Letters. In his final years, he expresses fatigue from his continued writing, compounded by the never-ending flow of reductive/ill-informed colleagues and fans, and antagonistic people.
Such antagonism, as tends to come from one-sided people. While researching for this project, we uncovered a surprising fact: Mr. Richardson mentioning Professor Jung, in the Observer, November 1 1959, not in only the one article included in the video, but a second! Twice, in one day! His second article was omitted; he mentions Jung by name, but the article is not about the broadcast: Richardson wrote a gushing positive book review for the autobiography of a Freudian.
The examples set by one-sided people, along with opportunists in social media, we see tribalism of "members of the club", fans of X, regularly mocking Y and fans of Y, etcetera. There is a model of dignity shown in the Face to Face interview, where Dr. Jung extends his professional courtesy to the late Dr. Freud.
We encourage all viewers to read Jung's original writing.
This video is PART TWO of a single project.
PART ONE: an evaluation and analysis on popular interpretation of his writing, study of quotes and ideas that are used in over-simplified formats, that become alterations/distortions, and to get a sense for healthy vitality or pathology of those transformations. It is available here: • Carl Jung's words & wr...
PART THREE: 2024 on-going, where I create some videos about CW Vol 5: Symbols of Transformation, "CG Jung Speaking", and "Jung Stripped Bare By His Biographers, Even".

    There is a good quote in the beginning of Red Book Liber Novus that in his own words would nod to what you wrote. A period of deep questioning and writing notes, in his late 30s early 40s. And the quote talks about how the numinous/spiritual beginning lead to more stuff than can be figured out in one life, and much of his life's career from 1920s-1960s was a mere scientific elaboration, for others. His work in alchemy is partly why I've been going in that direction on my channel. :)

    This is so wonderful and beautiful that it's worth noting and people are not even aware of it. One of the greatest minds in history, presented in this film as a person practically communicating with us, gives the impression of simplicity and some kind of accessibility to all of us. However, behind this lies much more than meets the eye. He communicates with us both verbally and non-verbally. We hear words, can relate to his fate, to some elements of thinking, and yet, on the other hand, his thoughts are at the peaks of human contemplation and creation, so far-reaching and untouchable. This is a great honor, as if we were listening to Plato, Shakespeare, or another giant, but since it's so close to us through this screen, we are not aware of the gift we have listening to Jung. Thank you!

    You hit the nail on the head, perfectly. Can you imagine what Hugh Burnett felt having achieved the interview, then the invitation for second but the interviewer was not John Freeman... Burnett must have been scrambling, but had a busy schedule. Since Jung passed about a year later, but possibly there was more planning that went on. There is more detail also in Jung’s Man and His Symbols, because it was a project also collaborated with Freeman. One might wonder why Burnett and Freeman couldn’t get a plan complete for Professor Jung to have the follow-up interview with themselves. On your mention of Plato, in case you are interested, besides reading Jung’s alchemy books, I have a few Plato projects in the works for the channel, and thoughts about Babylonian and ancient far-east works.

    Yes! Yes! That is the profundity of it! I love becoming aware of a person who conceives of the absolute blessing it is to witness such a moment in history, of one of the greatest minds to have ever come before us, speaking on film! It fills me with gratitude, though leads me into a sense of befuddlement so as to why more people are not interested or inclined to inquire into such recordings... Most people in modern society are happy to accept the field of psychology as being a concrete, definite domain of educational truth, yet do not seem to feel the need to understand its origins? Are willing simply to accept its validity because everyone else does so? Human culture is characterised by an overabundance of conformists and and submissive, suggestible types (those led to blindly accept religious beliefs and dogmatism without question), and the exceedingly rare individuals among us who actually seem to require proof or factual evidence in order to be convinced of what others happily and unquestioningly accept like sheep following each other endlessly around a paddock which seem indistinct from unconscious automatons!

    Thank you for your commendation, Rick. Truly, the work of Jung is inspiring, and I would like to hear more about your own experiences with Jung's work, if ever you want to share them. Knowing what people think about their own takes on Jung's work, has made this video so valuable to me; as this video is just my own "little" project, to contribute into the global conversation and awareness, historically. I am very serious about the work of Jung, and his historical influences (i.e. his parents, wife, his wife's grandfather, Paracelsus, alchemists...). Also some focuses: Sonu Shamdasani's work, i.e. "Jung Stripped Bare By His Biographers, Even", The Red Book Liber Novus, and his other recent articles; plus I want to contribute to awareness of the translation projects from Philemon Foundation. Some other of my own little projects: I re-started recording Ashmole’s Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum, using a scan from the book owned by CG Jung, in his alchemy library. There is another project I want to do on Jung, based on his letters to certain of his friends and collaborators (i.e. Richard Wilhelm, Hans Schmid).

    I read "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" recently and have always been interested in Jung's ideas. I hope to read more of his books. It was a joy to see this 1959 interview with Jung, just two years before he died. A remarkable man. One thing that led Jung to depart from Freud was when the latter confided in Jung that he was troubled by a dream he'd had. Jung offered to help Freud and interpret the dream, but Freud said that he could not risk losing his authority. Jung realised then that Freud was more concerned with his reputation than seeking the truth. In the mid 1940s Jung was taken ill with a heart attack and had an amazing out of body experience in which he was flying so high above the Earth that he could see the outlines of the coastlines far below. A mythological figure flew close to him and he realised that it was the doctor treating him, Dr H. Jung understood immediately that the dream meant that if he were to live, then Dr H would have to die. Jung tried to warn Dr H, who couldn't really grasp what Jung meant. The day Jung felt much better and began to get out of bed and wonder around, Dr H fell ill and died a few days later. He was a great thinker, and a kind, humane man. I'm not sure if you can still buy his collected works in a complete set, I think I'll probably have to buy just the books which interest me the most eg Psychological Types, case histories from his career as a psychiatrist, Synchronicity, his writings on the collective unconscious etc. Not sure if I'd be up to reading the more difficult works about alchemy.

    At 1:06:40 I stopped the video & enlarged my tablet screen to read page 524 of the book you are reading with letters or notes from C.G. Jung. This one dated 5 December 1959 states that Jung considers himself a Christian. A few moments ago I was stating that it is important to have dates next to the comments of people because often we or they may have an opinion at one age and date and may have an opposite opinion later in life. Or they may have the same opinion but in just a more mature and complex way. So thank you for that. Also wanted to say I appreciate what you put on the screen and how your second screen of you on the side in a smaller size ... and your reading... is very enjoyable. I also appreciate the cadence that you use and the clarity of speech. It is rare that I find a channel that can come close to this. Thank you very much!

    My pleasure, Esther! You may laugh, when I say this video was my style of a "youtube reaction video". In the (long) description, I describe what started this video. Also, you may be happy to hear, there is another video on my channel from the first week, 2018, when I read another entry from Jung's books of letters. It is "Carl Jung letter, 6 November 1915, Understanding as a devourer" Hope you have a good 2024, and if you subscribe I will be putting up more in the future :)

    You’re very welcome. I have a few more angles on Jung that no one ever looks at. In the process over the past two years of getting into I accidentally found multiple but hard-to-find references to his dog. So I’m going to make a vid about his dog 😆 Also, alchemy, but that is a well-known aspect, but what fewer people know is Jung’s personal alchemy library has been scanned and put online.

    In a letter to Freud, dated 1/30/1910, Jung wrote, "The prerequisite for a good marriage, it seems to me, is the license to be unfaithful." I was surprised to learn that Jung had affairs w/ at least 2 of his patients (Sabina & Toni), & during his marriage, but his wife Emma decided that she "could live with it." They were married on Valentine's Day. She died abt 5 yrs before he did.

    I am so very grateful for the video and especially your extensive review of Jung's answers to the God comment. It is understandable that some took his thoughtful comment on "I don't need to believe in God, I know" to be a proclamation of "faith." However, your inclusion of his answers to that are very illuminating and so important to understanding more fully what indeed he meant. "God," as I understand it, is an example of an archetype. Very deep and profound subject and thank you for your research and presentation. I am currently reading "Man and His Symbols."

    Hi, thanks! Yours is another encouragement toward reading and knowing the multi-sided views of Professor Jung. I am so glad to read your comment. Agreed, and there are so many streams of temporary news blips, and blunt opinions and statements in the world, it is often we are forced to just take a piece of stuff and eat it and not get much spiritual or psychological nutrition from it, and just need to keep consuming new stuff. So when putting this up it felt like a long-term meditation, historical but relevant for current social media quotes and understanding, and promoting further reading is just a natural next step. Please let us all know how you progress with Man and His Symbols, I for one am always interested to hear others new ideas after reading Jung. Thanks again.

    I can't see eye to eye with the Guardian's criticism. Just a cursory exploration of Jung's complex ideas would last for way longer than the 40 minutes allotted to the interview. John Freeman's introduction to Man and His Symbols indicates that this programme was, to an extent, an exploration, to gauge at what level he should pitch that book.

  • @edgeofthought

    That is interesting. It sounds vaguely familiar, I may have skimmed Freeman's intro of MaHS later, but not in depth. Perhaps we might find it interesting to see if John Freeman referenced Jung or his ideas in any other future works. More digging, ha! It was a fun exercise for this video. There is some small niche for making new unique researched videos about Jung. :) The newspaper research yielded many more articles written about Jung, but out of context for this video itself. If memory serves, there were numerous ones on his trips to Africa, I think because he was sponsored and taking-along a wealthy patron. Also a lot about Jung's passing in 1961. I have done back research on the modern antagonist Richard Noll.

    He gives deeper personal vibes in various of his letters which were published in the two Letters volumes. Some jokes, some deep personal, some cutesy stuff. One example (a favourite of mine): Carl visited London UK in 1919 (44 years of age), and received a letter from his daughter Marianne, who was 9 years old. He wrote back, told her bought a doll, made in India from wood, that is a gift for her mum Emma. The style of the writing, the narrative, details, is very much father-to-9-year-old daughter.

    Well said. This morning, on waking, something similar was on my mind. I'm dealing with major upheaval in my life, (causing delays in new stories/videos herein) but my thoughts were on consciousness as it stands in opposition to the operation of archetypes, but also how they can work together, if one knows more about the fundamentals of archetypes from Jung's view and his writings. I feel very similar as you. Spirit of the Depths is brutal but more to be hoped/sought than Spirit of the Times.

    Hey "Television Critic" with the Guardian... that interview, as short as it was, was infused with the fundamentals of his life's work. The ins and outs and details are far too complex and particular to cover in some sort of "lecture" of that length; one could try, but one would also lose the wisdom and charm of this old man, speaking to us in the comfort of his own home. Go read a book. (I realize I'm berating someone who is probably long dead, so be it. Perhaps his consciousness will read my words.) 😏
