Because he knew if people read it it would discredit his work in psychology because it sounds crazy, all this shit.

A woman was sitting about maybe 35 feet away. She was sitting there just quietly reading a book.

It was red in color and I believe it was a hard cover.

And they were in order except for one perfect space where the book was taken out.

This same description we got from the witnesses of her reading a red book.

And one book is missing out of this collection so it has to be the book that they were talking about.

Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast

The title was brought up as a notoriously bizarre Jungian manuscript where the author apparently 'lost his mind' and wrote about demons and inner figures, and it was linked to Internal Family Systems theory. Matt McCusker highlighted its chaotic nature, while another episode referenced it as a mysterious, hard‑to‑understand work. The hosts treated it more as an intriguing curiosity than a direct recommendation.

This book, written by Carl Jung, is a collection of his personal writings, dreams, and visions. It is considered a seminal work in Jungian psychology and explores the complexities of the unconscious mind. There is speculation that Jung's experiences with psychedelics may have contributed to its creation.
