The Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons to the Dead

"Gnosticism like mysticism pursues the inner way; its authority is not external but internal—a living personal experience—but without denying the outer world. Under the guise of Basilides, a second-century AD Gnostic sage, Jung wrote in 1916 the Seven Sermons to the Dead after he had received intense psychic experiences..The author [Stephan Hoeller]..has made his own translation of the sermons and sets forth a lengthy explanation and far-ranging commentary on Jung, Gnosticism, and the present condition of the Western individual."—Choice Review
