We are very proud to announce that the C.G. Jung Club of Orange County has become a Collaborating institution of the Philemon Foundation whose purpose is the publication of the Complete Works of C.G. Jung in English and German.  In distinction to the widely known Collected Works, it is intended that the Complete Works will comprise manuscripts, seminars and correspondence hitherto unpublished or believed lost.  These materials number in the tens of thousands of pages.   

       Among the current projects are Jung's legendary Red Book, the Children's Dreams Seminars, the Lectures at the ETH from 1933 to 1941, as well as Jung's remarkable correspondence with Father Victor White.  Given the magnitude of these tasks, we invite all those who value the work of C.G. Jung and appreciate its importance to our personal and collective journey, to join us by making a donation.

From the Philemon Foundation

As you may know, the Philemon Foundation was established in late 2003 to prepare for publication of the works of C. G. Jung.  Less than three years later, the first sponsored volume of the Philemon Series entitled, The Jung-White Letters, was published by Routledge in April 2007.  Then, less than one year later, the Foundation's next publication, Jung's seminar on Children's Dreams, was released by Princeton University Press in January 2008.  Finally, the long anticipated project for Jung's Red Book is proceeding.  Just recently, the Foundation reported that the publisher W.W. Norton has undertaken the project so that the Red Book will be available in the near future.  Could it be that 2009 will see the release of this long awaited publication?  Given the Foundations progress thus far, we might do well to think just that!

With many additional projects currently underway, including the translation and editing of unpublished manuscripts, lectures, letters, (enough to fill an additional 30 volumes), the work of the Philemon foundation is certain to expand our knowledge and understanding of Jung's life and work.  Therefore the efforts of the Philemon Foundation are phenomenally important and worthy of interest to all individuals whose own lives have been touched by the life and work of C.G. Jung.

Here in Orange County, our role as a Collaborating Institution for the Philemon Foundation is both simple and meaningful.  We work to inform our members and friends about the work of the Foundation.  We also collect and forward donations, hold events in support of the Foundation, and donate what we can as a club.  But most important, we help carry forward the spirit of the work of C.G. Jung through our attitude and enthusiasm in support for the publication of all that Jung wrote and intended for publication.  Thank you, Philemon Foundation, and congratulations on your accomplishments thus far!
