Jung's The Black Books are annotations of his inner world after his process of self-experimentation, which he called his 'confrontation with the unconscious'. They preceded The Red Book in which, as a scribe, he reworked his initial notes and drawings. This was the raw material for the work that Jung developed over the rest of his life. From his experimentation, he formulated the method of active imagination and the concept of the transcendent function, a psychological function that creates symbols and integrates the unconscious contents in consciousness. Jung invites us, with his experience, to write and paint our own Black Books and to explore our inner images. With this proposal to keep a journal as a loom of life, we welcome his invitation, which allows us to weave and integrate the visible and invisible substances of our lives. Our intention for the journalling is to provide a space for the unfolding of the individuation process. In Jung's invitation we see that a life that does not confront itself cannot be realized as such.

创建我们自己的黑皮书：将日记作为生命的织布机。

荣格的《黑皮书》是他自我实验过程后对内心世界的注解，他称之为“与无意识的对抗”。它们在《红皮书》之前，作为抄写员，他修改了他最初的笔记和图纸。这是荣格在他的余生中发展的工作的原材料。从他的实验中，他制定了主动想象的方法和超越功能的概念，这是一种创造符号并将无意识内容整合到意识中的心理功能。荣格以他的经验邀请我们编写和绘制我们自己的黑皮书并探索我们的内在形象。有了这个让日记成为生命的织布机的提议，我们欢迎他的邀请，这让我们能够编织和整合我们生活中可见和不可见的物质。我们写日记的目的是为展开个性化过程提供一个空间。在荣格的邀请中，我们看到不面对自己的生活无法实现。
