Jung's word "irrupted" is doing something important: not erupted, not emerged, but broken in from outside — the imperishable forcing itself through the membrane of the transitory. What he is describing is not a discipline of self-cultivation, not the result of sufficient interiority or adequate spiritual practice, but something that happened to him. The grammar is passive in the deepest sense. Dreams did not reward his attention; they arrived whether or not he had earned them.

Von Franz is pointing at what organized everything. The Collected Works, the stone that had to be worked, came after — crystallized from material Jung did not generate. The *prima materia* was given. This matters because the temptation when reading Jung is to reach for his method as a technique, to believe that if the practice is thorough enough, the inner life will open. That is the logic of sufficiency turned inward. What the passage resists is exactly that: the fiery magma was not produced by rigor. It simply was there, prior to any working of it, and Jung's life was organized around receiving it rather than manufacturing it. What he called his real self was not constructed. It preceded him.
