About this listen

A thrilling exploration of how Carl Jung found the equation for realizing the divine through personal consciousness.

In 1951, Carl Jung published what he considered the highest synthesis and exposition of the transformation of Self and the discovery of the divine in one of his latest and most difficult works, Aion. The equation’s complexity and uncharacteristic elements of mysticism have caused it to fall by the wayside in traditional Jungian and psychological analysis. No major work has tackled this fascinating concept until now.

Leslie Stein, a disciple of noted Jungian analyst Rix Weaver, here explores this groundbreaking equation to its fullest capacity. Tracing the roots of Jung’s research back to his influences in the world of the Kabbalah and Sufi mysticism, and grounding the more esoteric philosophy toward the modern sense of identity, Stein has produced both a rigorous work of scholarship on a major figure and a guide that challenges listeners to reflect on our own truths.

Editor reviews

In all major cultures and traditions the personal experience of becoming whole is thought to be a spiritual one. Starting with this knowledge, Carl Jung - one of the world's most famous psychologists - sought to understand how this came to be part of the human experience and what causes it. Eventually he created his equation for the realization of God, which has often been forgotten about. The author of Becoming Whole, Leslie Stein, - a psychologist herself - wanted to more closely examine Jung's equation, and has in this audiobook. Performer Cris Dukehart narrates, and his pleasant voice is exactly suited for this academic work.

The reading style is hard to listen to

This audiobook is hard to listen to because of the robotic intonation and mistakes in pronunciation/meaning of the reader. The writing is difficult to understand, so the reading doesn't help, which is really frustrating.

Someone has gone to the trouble of reading all this complicated book, a real person it seems, and they have made the whole thing sound like a robot. It feels heartless. I suppose this is the kind of reading that will usher in robots and AIs taking over reading audiobooks, as being equivalent to human and cheaper.

I would appreciate an engaged and thoughtful reading of this book. Maybe that will come with the ai, now, since humans don't seem to want to take on the role..
