So it is a good thing that “the god put a knife between the two halves of the perfectly equipped and spherical primordial being.”

I feel sorry for the man, however, who loses his faith in the ideal because the intellect or experience has shown him that knife. The torments of Tantalus await him.147

With best regards,

your Hans Schmid

I would be grateful to you for a typed copy of this letter, and if possible also of my last one.

128 This differentiation depends on the assumption that the ideal introvert has already been orienting himself to the object via the thinking function in an introverted way, and that the ideal extravert has already been orienting himself to it using the feeling function in an extraverted way. While it is not hard to see taking possession of the idea that one has of the object as also introverted, taking possession of an originally extraverted feeling for the object does not sound like a continuation of the extraverted attachment of libido to the object but more like an introverted move. Schmid attempts to solve this confusion by reintroducing the notion of “abstract” feeling, which, from Jung’s point of view, only gets him into further trouble, because abstraction is also a typically introverted move. See Jung’s margin note below for what he thinks an extravert does with his feeling for the object, which does not permit abstraction from it.

129 Jung noted in the margin: not how the extravert feels it; the other person is also to be considered.

130 This probably refers to Jung, 1911/12, § 431, where Jung writes about Cassius that he partly “reacts as a child towards his parents, always demanding love and immediate emotional rewards.”

131 The following whole paragraph is added on a separate sheet of paper.

132 Schmid describes a process that Jung would later call “introverted feeling,” although Jung still downplayed the role of the object in it: introverted feeling “strives after inner intensity, for which the objects serve at most as a stimulus” (1921, § 638).

133 The following passage, from here to the end of the paragraph, was added on a separate sheet of paper.

134 Corrected from: this ever-deeper feeling into the object.

135 Corrected from: to an ever-stronger feeling into the object. Lacking the conception of introverted feeling, Schmid concludes that all feelings for the object are finally extraverted, but the process he describes is one that Jungians today would call an introverted one. On Schmid on Tristan, see also 7 J and note 162.

136 The following two paragraphs were added on a separate sheet of paper.

137 This harks back to Jung’s 1913 paper, in which he had illustrated the centrifugal and centripetal movement of the libido in extraversion and introversion by contrasting the hysteric’s and schizophrenic’s attitude to the external world (1913a, §§ 858–60).

138 Jung noted in the margin: Thereby he realizes it.

139 Crossed out: Although Goethe is certainly not the absolute authority for me, I cannot agree with what you write about him. What Goethe writes about the ineffectiveness
