psychoceramics: Read all about it! ... in Heaven

[Mitchell Porter <mitch @ thehub.com.au>]

>From _Carl Gustav Jung_ by Frank McLynn (Bantam, 1996), Chapter 1:

"Jung's maternal grandfather... Samuel Preiswerk (1799-1871) was
a pastor ... obsessed with Jewish history and culture. Convinced
that Hebrew was the language spoken in Heaven, he ... achieved such
eminence in Hebrew studies that he was appointed to a lectureship
in the subject; his greatest source of satisfaction was the
knowledge that he would now be able to read celestial newspapers."

He also "set out a chair in his study for his first wife's ghost
to sit in; during her weekly visit they would have long
conversations"; but that doesn't strike me as being as weird
as the bit about the celestial newspapers.
