Edward F. Edinger: The Living Psyche

Edward F. Edinger: The Living Psyche: There are only a handful of published case histories which illustrate the unique approach of Jung to the human psyche. This is understandable, for as Jung says, It is … a difficult and thankless task to try to describe the nature of the individuation process from case-material. Since one aspect tends to predominate in one case and another in another, and one case begins earlier and another later, and psychic conditions vary without limit, only one or the other version or phase of the process can be demonstrated in any given instance. Nevertheless, such data on individual cases must be accumulated if the larger worlds of psychiatry and psychotherapy are, belatedly, to realize Jung’s massive contribution. It is an impossible task to condense the analytic efforts of ten years into a coherent whole without some unifying thread.

Resolution ~ The Red Book

Resolution ~ The Red Book: S: “You are Christ.” I stand with outstretched arms like someone crucified, my body taut and horribly entwined by the serpent: “You, Salome, say that I am Christ?” It is as if I stood alone on a high mountain with stiff outstretched arms. The serpent squeezes my body in its terrible coils and the blood streams from my body; spilling down the mountainside. Salome bends down to my feet and wraps her black hair round them. She lies thus for a long time. Then she cries, “I see light!” Truly; she sees, her eyes are open. The serpent falls from my body and lies languidly on the ground. I stride over it and kneel at the feet of the prophet, whose form shines like a flame.

Suzanne Gieser -Dream Symbols of the Individuation Process- Introduction

Suzanne Gieser -Dream Symbols of the Individuation Process- Introduction: He also mentions the Dreamtime concept of Aboriginal Australians and their beliefs in healing objects, the Apollonian and Dionysian cults of ancient Greece, Nordic mythology, Pythagoras and Pythagoreanism, and the Khidr in the Koran. From the world of literature, he refers to Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Goethe’s Faust, and Meyrink’s The Golem. He also discusses the Exercitia of Ignatius Loyola and the visions of Zosimos. The connections to Jung’s further work on these topics is provided in the notes. In summary, we see here many of the budding themes that germinated during the years 1937– 57 in the ongoing development of Jung’s psychology of religion. From his initial studies in mythology and religion from 1912 onward, in the early 1930s, Jung drew his comparison principally from Eastern esoteric practices, such as Kundalini Yoga and Daoism. After this, his focus shifted to the Western tradition, principally medieval alchemy and Christian symbolism.

The tension of the Future.

The tension of the Future.: The tension of the future is unbearable in us. It must break through narrow cracks, it must force new ways. You want to cast off the burden, you want to escape the inescapable. Running away is deception and detour. Shut your eyes so that you do not see the manifold, the outwardly plural, the tearing away and the tempting. There is only one way and that is your way; there is only one salvation and that is your salvation.

1. The Pleroma, or fullness , is a term from Gnosticism. It played a central role in the Valentinian system.: The Pleroma, or fullness , is a term from Gnosticism. It played a central role in the Valentinian system. Hans Jonas states that “Pleroma is the standard term for the fully explicated manifold of divine characteristics, whose standard number is thirty, forming a hierarchy and together constituting the divine realm” (The Gnostic Religion: The Message of the Alien God and the Beginnings of Christianity [London, Routledge, 1992 ] , p. 180 ). In 1929, Jung said: “The Gnostics .. . expressed it as Pleroma, a state of fullness where the pairs of opposites, yea and nay, day and night, are together, then when they ‘become,’ it is either day or night. In the state of ‘promise’ before they become, they are nonexistent, there is neither white nor black, good nor bad” (William McGuire, ed., Dream Analysis: Notes ef the Seminar Given in 1928- 1930 [Princeton: Princeton University Press/ Bollingen Series, 1984], p. 131).

1. Meister Eckhart and Carl Jung on the Birth of the Divine Child.

1. Meister Eckhart and Carl Jung on the Birth of the Divine Child.: We are all meant to be mothers of God, for God is always needing to be born. ~Meister Eckhart. “In the psychology of the individual there is always, at such moments, an agonizing situation of conflict from which there seems to be no way out-at least for the conscious mind… But out of this collision of opposites the unconscious psyche always creates a third thing of an irrational nature, which the conscious mind neither expects nor understands. It presents itself in a form that is neither a straight “yes” nor a straight “no,” and is consequently rejected by both. For the conscious mind knows nothing beyond the opposites and, as a result, has no knowledge of the thing that unites them.

the Kore in a woman is generally a double one, i.e., a mother and a maiden

the Kore in a woman is generally a double one, i.e., a mother and a maiden: Not only is the figure of Demeter and the Kore in its threefold aspect as maiden, mother, and Hecate not unknown to the psychology of the unconscious, it is even something of a practical problem. The “Kore” has her psychological counterpart in those archetypes which I have called the self or supraordinate personality on the one hand, and the anima on the other. In order to explain these figures, with which I cannot assume all readers to be familiar, I must begin with some remarks of a general nature.

The comparison of Christ with the serpent is more authentic than that with the fish

The comparison of Christ with the serpent is more authentic than that with the fish: For instance, the symptoms may be distinctly correlated with the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system. The Sethians may have guessed something of this sort, for Hippolytus mentions, in connection with the serpent, that they compared the “Father” with the cerebrum (cy/ce^aXov) and the “Son” with the cerebellum and spinal cord . The snake does in fact symbolize “cold-blooded/* inhuman contents and tendencies of an abstractly intellectual as well as a concretely animal nature: in a word, the extra-human quality in man

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.: The plants at the foot of the figure are really rooted in the air. Tree, tree nymph, and plants are all lifted up from the earth or, more probably, are on the point of coming down to it. This is also suggested by the fish as emissary of the deep. The situation is in my experience an unusual one and may be due to theosophical influences. Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions is a characteristic feature of Western theosophy, but not the confrontation with the shadow and the world of darkness. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, one of the founders of psychiatry, tells: “Why I Believe in God.”: Speaking with the guttural accent of German-Swiss, but in idiomatically almost perfect English, Professor Jung told me, in his last interview: “To this day, God is the name by which I designate all things which cross my willful path violently and recklessly, all things which upset my subjective views, plans and intentions then change the course of my life for better or worse. “Without knowing it,” he added. ” man is always concerned with God. What some people call instinct or intuition is nothing other than God. God is the voice in side us which tells us what to do and what not lo do-in other words, our conscience.”
