Neither purely divine nor demonic, Abraxas embodies the union of opposites: creation and destruction, light and darkness, life and death. Emerging from Jung’s visionary experiences and the Seven Sermons to the Dead, Abraxas challenges conventional morality and reveals a reality in which seemingly irreconcilable forces coexist within a greater, terrifying whole. In this audiobook, we explore the psychological, philosophical, and mystical significance of Abraxas, tracing its roots in ancient Gnosticism and its place in Jung’s journey toward individuation. Through the confrontation of good and evil, the integration of the shadow, and the dissolution of familiar boundaries between the sacred and the profane, Jung invites us to confront the contradictions at the heart of human existence. Discover why Abraxas stands as one of the most provocative symbols in The Red Book, and what this mysterious figure reveals about the nature of consciousness, the unconscious, and the search for psychological wholeness.
