The book of the It, which is a series of letters to his niece, which he signs "Patrick Troll."
 And you know a troll is a goblin. And Grodek looked like a goblin. He had very big pointed
 ears that stuck out and a kind of strangely weird but benign expression. And he had a
 sanitarium in Baden-Baden, and there he practiced massage for people who came to him for analysis
 and analysis for people who came to him for massage. He was a completely wonderful man
 because everybody felt calmed by him. They felt an atmosphere of implicit faith in nature
 and especially in your own inner nature. No matter what, there is a wisdom inside you
 which may seem absurd, but you have to trust it. And so Kaisling, Hermann Kaisling, you
 know, who was a great Lithuanian philosopher, said nobody could possibly remind him more
 of Lauzer than Grodek. Now if Grodek had gone into Freud, it would have been a much better
 scene. But there was in all this, you see, in Freud, the basic mistrust of the unconscious,
 and this led to a quarrel with Jung. Because Jung went down to a lower level of the unconscious,
 which he called collective, and found out that there was a patterning process here,
 a formative patterning process, which contained all the wisdom of mankind. So for example,
 if you say, "Well, it's a great pity that the American Indian culture is wiped out,"
 a Jungian would say, "I know it is a pity, but it's all still there in the depths of
 the psyche, and sooner or later it will all emerge again. Because this patterning is eternal,
 and we in our modern life, we reproduce patterns, we reproduce rituals, we reproduce fantasies
 and myths, which can be discovered as having existed 25,000 years ago. Because your unconscious
 is timeless. And everything is there if you go hunting for it." But they were still a
 bit scared. I know some of the old Jungian analysts I used to know in New York were very
 uptight about fishing in the unconscious, and said, "Yeah, true, but there is also in
 the unconscious the primordial slime, which is full of serpents and crocodiles and the
 most things that give us the heebie-jeebies. And if you're not very careful, those things
 will come up and invade your consciousness. Also, there are not only serpents and crocodiles,
 and all those creepy-crawlies, as they-- ghoulies and ghosts and long-legged beasts and things
 that go bump in the night-- there's also the divine. And if you're not very careful, you
 can be inflated by the divine. You can suddenly have a mystical experience. Supposing you're
 kind of a half-miseducated person, like most of us are, who takes LSD. And suddenly, these
 unconscious contents come up, and you discover you're divine. And you think you're God. And
 you take on all these airs and graces. I mean, the people like Meher Baba, who ran around
 in announcing that he was personally in charge of the universe, and expected to be treated
 as such. Well, we put such people in the nuthouse. That's what they did to Jesus. That's intolerable.
 And Jung was right, in a way, when he said, that is inflation. It is turning your ego
 into God, instead of having God as your ego. Because he didn't understand. You have to,
 in other words, obviously, if you are going to let up all these great energies in the
 unconscious.
