THE MAN WHO MET MOSES
A MYSTICAL NOVEL
A century after Moses vanished on Mount Nebo, his presence still lingers in the depths of the human soul.
Shemaiah, a fourth-generation descendant of the Hebrew slaves and a member of a privileged priestly lineage, lives securely within tradition—yet an irrepressible inner knowing tells him that Moses, the man who spoke with God, is not truly gone. Leaving behind family, status, and certainty, he embarks on a perilous journey in search of the prophet and the truth that still calls to him.
As his path unfolds through desert landscapes and inner sanctuaries, Shemaiah confronts the unconscious, encounters angels and archetypal forces, and wrestles with a paradoxical God whose justice inspires both terror and awe. Renamed Shemaiahu in the wake of profound transformation, he ultimately meets Moses and enters a revelatory dialogue that reshapes his understanding of God, mercy, and human destiny.
Blending biblical history, depth psychology, and mystical insight, The Man Who Met Moses is a visionary novel of individuation—an epic spiritual quest that reveals how surrendering the ego can open the way to unity with the Self and participation in the divine unfolding of life.

Author of Jung's Map of the Soul
In this gem of a novel, Judith Merenfeld-Moscu uses what Carl Jung and the alchemists called “true imagination” to forge a diamond-like narrative of a transformative journey to the Self. The novel is a marvelous illustration of active imagination at its most authentic and shows brilliantly its revelatory potential. I’m sure that reading it deeply can be transformative and of the greatest spiritual benefit. I recommend this novel as a profound lesson in individuation.

THE UNCONCIOUS AND THE BIBLE
An Analysis of Pentateuchal Excerpts in the Light of Matte Blanco's Bi-logical Approach
The Unconscious and the Bible invites readers to experience Scripture as a living expression of the psyche—one that speaks through symbol, image, and inner meaning rather than doctrine alone.
Moving beyond traditional theological and historical readings, Jungian psychoanalyst Judith Merenfeld-Moscu, PhD, approaches biblical narrative as a symbolic terrain where transformation, identity, and the human encounter with the sacred unfold.
Drawing on Jungian depth psychology and Ignacio Matte Blanco’s theory of bi-logical thinking, the book explores key passages from the Pentateuch, revealing a language shaped by paradox, archetypal imagery, and the coexistence of opposites.
Both scholarly and accessible, The Unconscious and the Bible presents Scripture as a timeless mirror of the inner world—one that continues to illuminate the depths of human experience.”
