ABSTRACT
Intuition occurs in Jungian and post-Jungian practice during two specific activities: active imagination, and the constructive method. This chapter explains the constructive method and active imagination. It focuses on both techniques through Aniela Jaffe's Memories, Dreams, Reflections and invites an understanding of C. G. Jung's take on myth. The etymology of the German term Einfuhlung, which Jung sometimes used to designate transference—our empathy—proves useful. As a paradigm of Jung's theory, Jaffe's Memories, Dreams, Reflections helps us clarify major theoretical entries of intuition and develop in a drawn-out metaphor the intuitive part of both the constructive method and active imagination. Jaffe depicts at length visions that only Jung's intuition could have possibly perceived while Carl Eschenmayer had to pay the bill with negative uncanny impressions. Jaffe's Mythosanschauung, or "case Jung", is theoretically faithful to both Jung's theory of Anschauung and his theory of myth.
