For much of his life Jung spent several months a year living at Bollingen, which he described as �a place of spiritual concentration.� He did much of his writing, painting, and sculpture there. In Memories, Dreams, Reflections, he spoke about his life at the Tower: �In my retiring room I am by myself. I keep the key with me all the time; no one else is allowed in there except with my permission. In the course of the years I have done paintings on the wall, and so have expressed all those things which have carried me out of time into seclusion, out of the present into timelessness.�
