Dr. Brockway was a complex man of many talents. He was passionate about many things -- teaching, research, books, knowledge, music, art, marriage . . . and life. He had many projects in the works when he died in 2001.

With the assistance of his wife and soul mate Katie we are delving through a lifetime of photos, journals, research and teaching notes, unpublished manuscripts, music, art, etc. and we editing and publishing a series of Web features that we are sure will be of great interest to scholars, historians, former colleagues and students, researchers . . . and the general public.

For this feature we look back to the early years of WWII and share the thoughts of a young university student in Honolulu as he witnessed the events leading up to and following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. I have scanned a few of the pages but for ease of reading I have keyed in the text. Mrs. Brockway has added supplementary notes which also help explain some of the more ambiguous entries. PORTAL FOUR

Our second feature is a book-length manuscript that came out of the extensive notes that Professor Brockway had prepared for one of his religion/mythology courses at Brandon University. We have added photos on the introductory Web page and have showcased the entire text of this fascinating work in a WORD file. PORTAL SEVEN

 
Young Carl Jung by Robert W. Brockway
The Jung Cult received great attention for its revisionist opinions about C. G. Jung and the origins of depth psychology.

Young Carl Jung offers a more balanced view with rare glimpse into Carl Jung's formative years. In a masterful retelling of Jung's childhood, Brockway provides a clear perspective on the impact young Carl's experiences played in forming his later theories. Jung himself attributed his discovery of the collective unconscious to early childhood experiences beginning with a particularly vivid dream. 

From Brockway's on-site research in Switzerland to his analysis of Jung's octogenarian biography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, the historical, geographical, and intellectual influences that also impacted Jung are woven into this engrossing picture of his ancestry, birth, and school years.
