psychology” is, according to him, a shift in a different direction. Psychoanalysis is a movement into a more introverted consciousness, in which an awareness has been growing to the “dark side” of the psyche, to our shadow. Exploring mystical phenomena in these lectures Jung takes another step on that route, moving western thinking out of its comfort zone. He asks his audience not only to suspend their disbelief but to accompany him on the journey to this “uncharted territory” of history. If we want to encounter spheres of otherness in the psyche, he clarifies, “we must be able to abandon our point of view, make a sacrificium intellectus, and also a sacrifice of our morals, our notion of right and wrong, …[because] the other exists too.”(138)
