===Travels=== Jung emerged from his period of isolation in the late 1910s with the publication of several journal articles, followed in 1921 with ''[[Psychological Types]]'', one of his most influential books. There followed a decade of active publication, interspersed with overseas travels. ====England (1920, 1923, 1925, 1935, 1938, 1946)==== Constance Long arranged for Jung to deliver a seminar in [[Cornwall]] in 1920. Another seminar was held in 1923, this one organized by Jung's British protΓ©gΓ© [[Helton Godwin Baynes]] (known as "Peter") (1882β1943), and another in 1925.<ref name="McGuire"/> [[File:Beatrice Ensor Jung Montreux 1923.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Beatrice Ensor]] and Jung in Montreux, Switzerland, 1923, for the Second International [[New Education Movement|New Education Fellowship]] Conference]] In 1935, at the invitation of his close British friends and colleagues, [[Helton Godwin Baynes|H.

In 1912, Jung gave a series of lectures at Fordham University, New York, which were published later in the year as ''[[Psychology of the Unconscious]]''.<ref name="Gay 2006 225"/> Jung made a more extensive trip westward in the winter of 1924β5, financed and organized by Fowler McCormick and George Porter. Of particular value to Jung was a visit with [[Ochwiay Biano|Chief Mountain Lake]] of the [[Taos Pueblo]] near [[Taos, New Mexico]].<ref name="McGuire">{{cite journal|last=McGuire|first=William|title= Firm Affinities: Jung's relations with Britain and the United States|journal=Journal of Analytical Psychology|year=1995|volume=40|pages=301β326|doi=10.1111/j.1465-5922.1995.00301.x|issue=3}}</ref> Jung made another trip to America in 1936, receiving an honorary degree at Harvard<ref>{{cite journal |title=Degrees Conferred at the Harvard Tercentenary Celebration|journal=Science |series=New Series |volume=84|issue=2178 |date=25 September 1936 |pages=285β286|doi=10.1126/science.84.2178.285-a|jstor=1662296}}</ref> and giving lectures in New York and New England for his growing group of American followers.

He was accompanied by his English friend, [[Helton Godwin Baynes|"Peter" Baynes]], and an American associate, [[George Beckwith (Carl Jung associate)|George Beckwith]]. On the voyage to Africa, they became acquainted with an English woman named Ruth Bailey, who joined their safari a few weeks later. The group traveled through Kenya and Uganda to the slopes of [[Mount Elgon]], where Jung hoped to increase his understanding of "primitive psychology" through conversations with the culturally isolated residents of that area. Later, he concluded that the major insights he had gleaned had to do with himself and the European psychology in which he had been raised.<ref>{{cite book|title=Race and White Identity in Southern Fiction: From Faulkner to Morrison|url=https://archive.org/details/racewhiteidentit00duva|url-access=limited|page=[https://archive.org/details/racewhiteidentit00duva/page/n185 165]|year=2008|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|first=John N.|last=Duvall|isbn=978-0-230-61182-5}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Burleson|first=Blake W.|title=Jung in Africa|year=2005|publisher=Bloomsbury Academic |isbn=978-0-8264-6921-2}}</ref> One of Jung's most famous proposed constructs is kinship libido. Jung defined this as an instinctive feeling of belonging to a particular group or family and believed it was vital to the human experience and used this as an endogamous aspect of the libido and what lies amongst the family. This is similar to a Bantu term called [[Ubuntu philosophy|Ubuntu]] that emphasizes humanity and almost the same meaning as kinship libido, which is, "I am because you are."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vaughan |first1=A.G |title=African American cultural history and reflections on Jung in the African Diaspora |journal=Journal of Analytical Psychology |date=2019 |volume=64 |issue=3 |pages=320β348 |doi=10.1111/1468-5922.12501|pmid=31070251 |s2cid=148570214 }}</ref> ====India==== [[File:ETH-BIB-Jung, Carl Gustav (1875-1961)-Portrait-Portr 14163 (cropped).tif|thumb|left|upright|Jung in about 1935]] In December 1937, Jung left Zurich again for an extensive tour of India with Fowler McCormick. In India, he felt himself "under the direct influence of a foreign culture" for the first time. In Africa, his conversations had been strictly limited by the language barrier, but he could converse extensively in India. [[Hindu philosophy]] became an important element in his understanding of the role of symbolism and the life of the unconscious, though he avoided a meeting with [[Ramana Maharshi]]. He described Ramana as being absorbed in "the self". During these travels, he visited the [[Vedagiriswarar Temple]], where he had a conversation with a local expert about the symbols and sculptures on the [[gopuram]] of this temple. He later wrote about this conversation<ref>"When I visited the ancient pagoda at Turukalukundram [''sic''], southern India, a local pundit explained to me that the old temples were purposely covered on the outside, from top to bottom, with obscene sculptures, to remind ordinary people of their sexuality. The spirit, he said, was a great danger because ''Yama'', the god of death, would instantly carry off these people (the "imperfecti") if they trod the spiritual path directly, without preparation. The erotic sculptures were meant to remind them of their ''dharma'' (law), which bids them fulfil their ordinary lives. Only when they have fulfilled their dharma can they tread the spiritual path. The obscenities were intended to arouse the erotic curiosity of visitors to the temples so that they should not forget their dharma; otherwise, they would not fulfil it. Only the man who was qualified by his ''karma'' (the fate earned through works in previous existences) and who was destined for the life of the spirit could ignore this injunction with impunity, for to him, these obscenities mean nothing. That was also why the two seductresses stood at the temple entrance, luring the people to fulfill their dharma, because only in this way could the ordinary man attain higher spiritual development. And since the temple represented the whole world, all human activities were portrayed. Because most people are always thinking of sex anyway, the great majority of the temple sculptures were of an erotic nature. For this reason, too, he said, the ''lingam'' (phallus) stands in the sacred cavity of the ''adyton'' (Holy of Holies), in the ''garbha griha'' (house of the womb). This pundit was a Tantrist (scholastic; tantra = 'book')." -- C. G.
