The conscious mind allows itself to be trained like a parrot, but the unconscious does not—which is why St. Augustine thanked God for not making him responsible for his dreams.The unconscious is a psychic fact; any efforts to drill it are only apparently successful, and moreover harmful to consciousness. It is and remains beyond the reach of subjective arbitrary control, a realm where nature and her secrets can be neither improved upon or perverted, where we can listen but may not meddle.
—C. G. Jung, Psychology and Alchemy, 1944

The San Diego Friends of Jung (FOJ) is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to exploring the ideas, studies and theories of Carl Gustav Jung, founder of analytical psychology. FOJ presents a variety of programs to fulfill this objective including lectures, films, workshops and social events. FOJ also maintains a library of Jungian literature that is available to members free of charge, as well as an extensive collection of audiotapes of past lectures for sale.

FOJ welcomes all persons, both lay and professional, at all levels of interest and understanding of Jung's works, in particular those who are seeking a deeper understanding of the human spirit and have desire for increasing self-knowledge. Program offerings are designed to accommodate different levels of familiarity with C.G. Jung, and continuing education units are available for participation in certain FOJ programs.
