Jung's illustrated manuscript — kept private during his lifetime and published only in 2009 — containing his active imaginations from 1914–1930, in which he descended into the unconscious, encountered archetypal figures (Philemon, Elijah, Salome), and derived the core concepts of analytical psychology from lived experience.
