Dysfunctional anima - animus
Image
The anima and animus are patterns, one might say, of the feminine and masculine aspects of the psyche which, according to C. G. Jung, greatly affect how we see ourselves and relate to others in close, familial or love relationships. If these powerful psychic forces are repressed, ignored or otherwise... Continue reading

a Story of Dreams
Image
Sketch of the dream behind my little tale. Many years before there was television and before people lived in square houses, a young girl went into the desert with her friends, and after a long walk, they came to an oasis, a place where a natural spring bubbled up, and... Continue reading

Honouring the Wild Gods

Sometimes we learn the hard way that when those archetypal forces are ignored, like offended gods they can turn against us. Continue reading

Must the Animus always be Male?
Image
Last year, I think it was, I dreamed I was on a ship and a strange-looking woman with orange wildly flyaway hair and the protuberant eyebrows one often sees in old men was helping me dress for dinner. Later in that dream, she was going downstairs hugging a man in... Continue reading

Active Imagination - Under the Sea
Image
I have recalled no dreams for over a week now (which is not unusual for me these days), but an image from a dream last year has been haunting me, so I intended to do Active Imagination (AI) with it, and let myself sink as I could into my unconscious.... Continue reading

Accepting Eros
Image
Some months ago, I posted this sketch on facebook with these words from Jung: "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" and "The most terrifying thing is to accept ourselves completely." I was studying Jung at the time - again - and had thought I... Continue reading

Projection: Is that too, me?
Image
Projection. An automatic process whereby contents of one’s own unconscious are perceived to be in others. (Jungian analyst, Frith Luton @ frithluton.com) One of the tasks of consciousness is to learn what is 'I' and what is not. For the personality, that means distinguishing what is Me, and what is...

Multidimensional Personality
Image
As a uni student many years ago studying world history, cultural anthropology, geography and psychology, I was suddenly struck by the realisation that everything - everything - is interconnected and affects everything else. The flutter of a butterfly's wing might not seem to cause a hurricane but in the greater... Continue reading

Active Imagination on a Dream
(My post in the New Jungian Book Club Group, Jan 14, 2020) I apologise for the length, but this has been immensely significant for me, and I share it to help you understand what Jung means when he advocates thinking symbolically. I had a dream that I will not go... Continue reading

Thoughts on Sacrifice

Who we are willing to sacrifice for what we believe is a higher cause, or more likely, in obedience to authority, to conformity, to what we have been taught is right and good though it may not be..? Continue reading

One and Many

Being at One, developing Oneness thinking does not imply a rejection or diminishment of our sacred individuality, or an ultimate spiritual goal of reuniting with and melting into the original One. Continue reading

Reflections on a poem
Image
At first I took this as a warning to keep away from the social discourse and fear of Covid by staying connected to deeper consciousness. But I was studying Jung at the time, and quickly saw connections other texts I was studying. Continue reading

Being Present in the World
Image
It is taught that we are in the world, but not of it. If 'not of it' means that we are not or should not allow ourselves to be dominated by it, that we should not mistake the dream of this reality for Reality itself, then I might say, yes.... Continue reading

It is said that before entering the sea a river trembles with fear. She looks back at the path she has traveled, from the peaks of the mountains, the long winding road crossing forests and villages. And in front of her, she sees an ocean so vast, that to enter... Continue reading
