Why I Built This
I needed a system. So I made one.
I spent months doing my own Jungian self-analysis. Reading the Collected Works, journaling dreams, tracking shadow material. But everything lived in separate places. My notes didn't talk to each other. I could feel the connections between concepts, but I couldn't see them.
So I built a system. 89 concept pages covering Jung's complete psychological framework, all cross-linked in Obsidian. Dream journal templates, shadow work trackers, active imagination prompts, all living inside the same structure as the theory. Then I connected Claude to the vault and something changed.
The graph showed me connections I hadn't made consciously
When you cross-link 89 Jungian concepts with wiki-links, the structure starts thinking with you. I saw relationships between archetypes, complexes, and my own patterns that I never would have found by reading alone. The connection between the Trickster and Mercurius, between the inferior function and the Terrible Mother. These emerged from the vault's architecture, not from deliberate reasoning.
Self-analysis became a daily practice
Having the journal templates sitting inside the same system as the theory collapsed the distance between "reading about Jung" and "doing the work." I wasn't studying anymore. I was working on myself, and the vault was working with me.
It caught my blind spots
Every concept page has self-reflection questions tailored to your specific type. When you open a page about Inflation, it doesn't just define it generically. It asks how your dominant function inflates, where your shadow hides. The vault is built to look where you naturally don't.
It keeps growing
This isn't a book you finish. Your dreams feed into the concept pages. Your reflections create new links. Your life connects to archetypal patterns in real time. The longer you use it, the more accurate the mirror becomes.
