Carl Jung (1875-1961)
Autograph letter signed (‘C.G. Jung’) to Rivkah Shärf, Küsnacht-Zürich, 20 July 1942
In German. One page, 293 x 209mm. Headed paper. Envelope.
‘”Ego” is the image of myself that I create for myself’. Jung reflects on the process of individuation: ‘The avenging bolt of lightning strikes the wicked – that one, however, is the image we create for ourselves. Therefore, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image”. / “Ego” is the image of myself that I create for myself. This image, too, is subject to dissolution. This is necessary, otherwise the Self cannot take shape, because the Ego stands in its way everywhere.’
For Jung, individuation is the process by which one finds and becomes one’s Self, from a fragmented piece to a unique whole. The recipient is Jung’s student and friend, the Swiss psychoanalyst Dr Rivkah Schärf Kluger (1907-1987).
