Topic: Psychoanalysis

A comparison is drawn between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung regarding their engagement with the paranormal. While Freud experienced bizarre visions and hauntings—including a sighting of his own "shadow self"—he attempted to repress these events in favor of materialism. In contrast, Jung embraced his mystical experiences and background in seances, leading to a philosophy that has arguably remained more influential in modern spiritual circles.
