As editor of the Red Book he knows more about the history and assembly of the text than any person save for Jung.

I don't believe it is necessary to get something out of this book without, as in my case, having read the Red Book. For any attempt at self-realization without full recognition of the psychopathology that resides, as Hegel said, inherently in the soul is in itself pathological, an exercise in self-deception.
