ABSTRACT
Lacking an adequately supportive and confirming reference group of males among his own contemporaries, Carl Gustav Jung surrounded himself with a group of intelligent and admiring female disciples in Zurich who have carried on the Jungian tradition since his death. Jung had his 'secret', his premonition of things unknown. His life had meaning to him because behind his personal life he knew there was something impersonal, a numinosum, as he called it. His writings, even his memoirs, reflect his belief in the singularity and importance of his experience, of the impersonal dimension in his life as being its essence. Jung took it for granted that the unexpected and the incredible belong in this world. For him the world always seemed to be infinite and ungraspable. In his Memories, Dreams and Reflections, Carl Gustav Jung recollected the story of his inner life, of his dreams and visions, of his relationships and of his travels.
