ABSTRACT
This book is analyses UFO's, Flying Saucers is the great psychologist's brilliantly prescient meditation on the phenomenon that gripped the world. The author was also informed that the UFOs were remote-controlled by a mothership. The UFOs could travel approximately with the speed of light. A self-confessed sceptic in such matters, Jung was nevertheless intrigued, not so much by their reality or unreality, but by their psychic aspect. The psychological experience that is associated with the UFO consists in the vision of the rotundum, the symbol of wholeness and the archetype that expresses itself in mandala form. The Eastern mandalas in Mahayana Buddhism accordingly represent the cosmic, temporal, and psychological order. In this wonderful and enlightening book Jung sees UFO's as visionary rumours, the centre of a quasi-religious cult and carriers of our technological and salvationist fantasies. The scientific pioneers, the spokesmen of the avant-garde, prove too weak or too immature to receive the message from the unconscious.
