I agree: I love his childish apprehension of trees being "the thoughts of
god", and his description of being _very_ drunk for the first time. "Modern
man in search of a soul" is also a good short intro. But for the readers of
this forum, probably "Psychology and Religion: West and East" (ISBN 0 7100
1641 7) contains the most thought-provoking papers (and the three anthologies
dealing with alchemy: "Psychology and Alchemy", "Alchemical Studies" and
"Mysterium Coniunctionis").
