Here is an introductory video about The Red Book (to play the video, click on the thumbnail).
A complete 200MB PDF download of the original text and art of The Red Book is available at the bottom of this post.
On the back of the painting Untitled work, 1917, within The Red Book, Liber Novus, are inscribed the following lines ( pp 320-1):
“The Cabiri: We hauled things up, we built. We placed stone upon stone. Now, you stand upon solid ground…We forged a flashing sword for you, with which you can cut the knot that entangles you…We also place before you the devilish, skillfully twined knot that locks and seals you. Strike, only sharpness will cut through it…Do not hesitate. We need destruction since we ourselves are the entanglement. He who wishes to conquer new land brings down the bridges behind him. Let us not exist anymore. We are the thousand canals in which everything flows back into it’s origin.”
Should the above quote intrigue you, trust that the complete work is equally enthralling. Available from W. W. Norton and Company.

Hi Stillness Speaks,
Thanks for the shared treasures. Really appreciated it.
Amazing! Thank-you!
Thank you so much for giving the world opportunity to read this masterpiece!
I’m new on the page.
Not much to say yet, just recently finished reading a copy of Dr C.G Jung biography.
Thank you! And thank you for making this available to everyone.
Blessings
SPEECHLESS. Just… THANK YOU.
It’s much easier to study than the print book – some of that German is SO tiny and his little abbreviation codes – I don’t know the proper term – and the stylized calligraphy… SO hard to read in the book. This is marvelous. Marvelous.
Thank you very much.! You are doing a great work by sharing these books.
thanks once again..!!
Thank you for this wonderful work, Stillness Speaks! Download functions perfectly. Many-many blessing and have a wonderful sunny day!
Bobby.
Gratitude abounds!
Many thanks, thank you a lot!!!
