This material was published in revised and augmented form as Section 1 of Jung's "Psychology and Religion: East and West" (CW 11), in accordance with the Swiss edition (Zurich: Rascher, 1940). Contents: The autonomy of the unconscious Mind Dogma and natural symbols The history and psychology of a natural symbol From the front matter published in the sixth printing -- citing the Dwight Harrington Terry Foundation's deed of gift to Yale: "The lecturers shall be subject to no philosophical or religious test and no one who is an earnest seeker after truth shall be excluded because his views seem radical or destructive to existing beliefs. The founder [of the Terry Foundation] realizes that the liberalism of one generation is often conservatism in the next, and that many an apostle of true liberty has suffered martyrdom at the hands of the orthodox. He therefore lays special emphasis on complete freedom of utterance, and would welcome expressions of conviction from sincere thinkers of differing standpoints even when these may run counter to the generally accepted views of the day. The founder stipulates only that the managers of the fund shall be satisfied that the lecturers are well qualified for their work and are in harmony with the cardinal principles of the Foundation, which are loyalty to the truth, lead where it will, and devotion to human welfare."
