<p>Edited by Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt, the essays in the series<em> Jung&rsquo;s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions</em> are geared to the recognition that the posthumous publication of <em>The Red Book: Liber Novus</em> by C. G. Jung in 2009 was a meaningful gift to our contemporary world.</p><p>&ldquo;To give birth to the ancient in a new time is creation,&rdquo; Jung inscribed in his <em>Red Book</em>. The essays in this volume continue what was begun in Volume 1 of <em>Jung&rsquo;s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions</em> by further contextualizing <em>The</em> <em>Red Book</em> culturally and interpreting it for our time. It is significant that this long sequestered work was published during a period in human history marked by disruption, cultural disintegration, broken boundaries, and acute anxiety. <em>The Red Book</em> offers an antidote for this collective illness and can be seen as a link in the <em>aurea</em> <em>catena</em>, the &ldquo;golden chain&rdquo; of spiritual wisdom extending down through the ages from biblical times, ancient Greek philosophy, early Christian and Jewish Gnosis, and alchemy. <em>The Red Book</em> is itself a work of creation that gives birth to the old in a new time.</p><p>This is the second volume of a three-volume series set up on a global und multicultural level and includes essays from the following distinguished Jungian analysts and scholars:</p><p>- <strong>Murray Stein</strong> and <strong>Thomas Arzt</strong>: Introduction</p><p>- <strong>John Beebe</strong>: The Way Cultural Attitudes are Developed in Jung&rsquo;s <em>Red Book</em> <strong>&ndash; </strong>An &ldquo;Interview&rdquo;</p><p>- <strong>Kate Burns</strong>: Soul&rsquo;s Desire to become New: Jung&rsquo;s Journey, Our Initiation</p><p>- <strong>QiRe Ching</strong>: Aging with <em>The Red Book</em></p><p>- <strong>Al Collins</strong>: Dreaming <em>The Red Book</em> Onward: What Do the Dead Seek Today?</p><p>- <strong>Lionel Corbett</strong>:<em> The Red Book</em> as a Religious Text</p><p>- <strong>John Dourley</strong>: Jung, the Nothing and the All</p><p>- <strong>Randy Fertel</strong>: Trickster, His Apocalyptic Brother, and a World&rsquo;s Unmaking: An Archetypal Reading of Donald Trump</p><p>- <strong>Noa Schwartz Feuerstein</strong>: India in <em>The Red Book</em>: Overtones and Undertones</p><p>- <strong>Gražina Gudaitė</strong>: Integrating Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions of Experience under Postmodern Conditions</p><p>- <strong>Lev Khegai</strong>: <em>The Red Book </em>of C.G.
