Carl Jung's appreciation of Richard Wilhelm





“I owe to Wilhelm the most valuable elucidations of the complicated problem of the I Ching and also the practical evaluation of the results obtained. . . .

When Wilhelm was staying with me in Zurich, I asked him to work out a hexagram on the state of our Psychological Club.

The situation was known to me, but to him not at all.

The diagnosis that resulted was startlingly correct, and so was the prognosis, which described an event that occurred later and that I myself had not foreseen.

To me personally, however, this result was no longer so amazing, since I had earlier already had a number of remarkable experiences with the method.” ~Carl Jung, Jung’s Last Years, Page 24.
