Why can't white men resist?

>His [Jung's] reliance on Richard Wagner's treatment of the Amfortas theme is intriguing for several reasons. Wagner, almost the only composer of music to have won space in Jung's writings, [5] was discussed enthusiastically with Sabina Spielrein, as her diary indicates:

>". . . tears came to his own eyes when I explained something about, for example, Wagner's psychological music, for he had thought, felt, written (in unpublished works, too) the very same things." (Carotenuto, 1982: 12.)

>Spielrein's Wagnerian imagination centered on The Ring of the Nibelung, as she wished to bear Jung's blond, half-Jewish son and name him Siegfried. Jung discussed aspects of The Ring in Symbols of Transformation, having been drawn into it by his dreamer's associations. But there is a different kind of weightiness in his references to the Amfortas' wound. The symbol of the Grail King's bleeding thigh is pregnant [6] with personal meaning for Jung. Possibly he saw himself as an Amfortas who had fallen for a Kundry in Sabina.

In his essay "Psychology and Literature" Jung repeatedly speaks of The Shepherd of Hermas with equal importance as a literary work to Dante and Goethe, why is this? Is it that good? Why have I never heard of it?

He doesn't seem particularly different from that school desu.
