Psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove reflects on Peter Kingsley's two-volume book Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity, which argues that Jung was not merely a scientist but a prophet akin to Jesus, Muhammad, and Mani. Kingsley claims Jung deliberately hid the mystical, religious nature of his work behind scientific language, and that orthodox Jungians do him a disservice by denying it.
