Thanks for the suggestions, both of you. I'll look into them.
I've only recently started reading books on inner work, although in a way I've been doing inner work on my own all my life. My background in psychoanalysis is mainly theoretical, as part of philosophy (esp. Freud and Lacan, Jung doesn't seem to be taken as seriously here - I'm familiar with the archetypes and other Jungian hypotheses mainly from my courses in literary theory).
The book by Robert Johnson has been recommended to me before, I understand it deals with dream work and active imagination? It looked like a general theoretical introduction though, or is it deeper than that?
Yes, I can see how 21 Ways would reflect Jungian techniques. Maybe I could use those exercises in a more general approach? Thanks for explaining your own dreamwork approach.
I'm afraid I have the mind of a scientist as well as the soul of a mystic, while unfortunately it's really hard to find books that nourish both. I get frustrated with inner healing type books for the lack of substance, depth and foundation, I often get frustrated with philosophy as well for the lack of internalisation and personal reflection, and I get frustrated with most tarot books for trying to fit other theories into the tarot structure instead of looking at tarot from a broader perspective. So I keep going back and forth between philosophy, literature, psychology, anthropology, mythology, tarot and other related things, trying to find the area where they overlap and taking that to greater depths.
Right now I think there are (too) many useful theories that I'm familiar with, but I want to go deeper. In a more than rational way, but without letting go of the rational foundation. So I'll just have to build my own approach, I guess...
I'll let you know when my book's finished.
