MYTHS, FAIRY TALES AND DREAMS

wonderful essay (and website).


and the key to carl jung:


The soul descends into generation, after the manner of Kore
She is scattered by generation, after the manner of Dionysus;
Like Prometheus and the Titans, she is bound to body.
She frees herself by exercising the strength of Heracles;
Gathers herself together through the help of Apollo
And the saviour Athene, by truly purifying philosophy;
And she elevates herself to the causes of her being with Demeter.

~Damascius, the last head of the Platonic Academy in Athens, 6th century AD. from The Seven Myths of the Soul by Tim Addey, The Prometheus Trust

mix well with the understanding that ...

The unconscious is not a demonical monster, but a natural entity which, as far as moral sense, aesthetic taste, and intellectual judgment go, is completely neutral. It only becomes dangerous when our conscious attitude to it is hopelessly wrong. To the degree that we repress it, its danger increases.~C.G.Jung The Practical Use Of Dream Analysis, Collected Works Vol. 16

The psychic depths are nature, and nature is creative life. Whatever values in the visible world are destroyed by modern relativism, the psyche will produce their equivalents.~C.G.Jung, Modern Man in Search Of a Soul
CGJUNG

is the theater
of the periodic revolution of soul.
