Carl Gustav Jung - Franc McLynn

p. 379-383

...
It was in Taos that Jung had his celebrated meeting with the Pueblo Indian sage Mountain Lake, allegedly introduced to him by one of his American female enthusiasts, Frances Wickes.
...

His nebulous status notwithstanding, Mountain Lake provided Jung with much food for thought and an abundance of quotable (and much-quoted) remarks, which make him sound like a forerunner of the later sage of the South-West, Carlos Castaneda.
...
Mountain Lake told him the whites looked cruel and they were always restlessly seeking something. Their restlessness made the Indians think they were mad.
Jung pressed Mountain Lake to expound on this thesis. The explanation given by Biano/Mirabal made whites sound exactly like people who were possessed by demons.
...
Biano told him that Pueblos and other Indians thought with their hearts, but the white men with their heads, which was further proof that they were mad.
...
Jung found their mixture of sincerity and naïvety deeply touching and declared later that the white man’s feeling of superiority when he listened to the ‘superstitions’ of these ‘benighted savages’ simply masked his unconscious envy and deep-down realization of his own spiritual impoverishment.
