CARL GUSTAV JUNG (1875-1961) was a Swiss-German psychiatrist whose theories are the first real explanation of what the psyche is at the deepest level of our existence.
Carl found that this was a convenient escape mechanism and continued to use these unconscious fainting spells so that he wouldn't have to study or go to school.
His father was expressing his concern that his son, Carl, would not be able to overcome these unconsious fainting spells, and therefore not be able to take care of himself.

Carl Gustav Jung was one of the greatest explorers of the human mind, his ideas having profoundly influenced such varied disciplines as art, anthropology, atomic physics, philosophy, mythology, theology and parapsychology, as well as the development of psychology and psychotherapy.
Carl was named after his paternal grandfather, a German-born physician and professor of surgery at the University of Basel, as well as a Grand Master of the Freemasons of Switzerland.
This galvanised Carl into action and, feeling somewhat guilty, he set about the task of 'curing' himself through hard work, becoming a solitary, bookish, intellectual youth, who continued to puzzle over religious and philosophical questions.

 BBC - h2g2 - Carl Gustav Jung - the Man - A653429
To Carl Gustav Jung, life was so ephemeral, so insufficient, that he likened it to a plant that lived on its rhizome - its true life being invisible, hidden in the rhizome.
A disproportionately large number of Jung's patients and followers were women, being powerfully attracted to him and gathered round him to form a sizeable coterie, known somewhat irreverently as the Jungfrauen.
Indeed, this 'cult of women' (including Aniela Jaffé, Jolanda Jacobi, Marie-Louise Von Franz, Barbara Hannah, Esther Harding, Liliane Frey-Rohn et al) played a key role in the advancement of Jung's career, becoming practitioners and taking positions of power in both the Analytical Psychology Club (founded 1916) and the CG Jung Training Institute (founded 1948).

 Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The corresponding discrete-time equation is usually referred to as the Bellman equation.
In continuous time, the result can be seen as an extension of earlier work in classical physics by William Rowan Hamilton and Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi.
The unknown V(x, t) in the above PDE is the Bellman 'value function', that is the cost incurred from starting in state x at time t and controlling the system optimally from then until time T.

Lastly, von Franz concludes with a brilliant essay on "Science and the Unconscious", summarizing the entire book, and emphasising the importance of symbols and the unconscious and their on-going interpretation in the effort to understanding ourselves.
