The Anima and Animus is on one hand rooted in the individual consciousness and on the other in the collective unconscious, and as such are bridges between the personal and impersonal, the conscious and the unconscious.| Applied Jung
I tend to share Jung’s Kantian perspective about subjects like God and life after death. We simply cannot know the ontological truth about these directly. Yet to the psyche their existence seems quite real regardless of what the intellect has to say about the subject. I also possess what I would consider a healthy mistrust […] The post My Life in a Death Cult appeared first on Applied Jung.| Applied Jung

I focus on four specific symbols: for which I will offer an archetypal analysis and psychological interpretation of the way in which they structure our unconscious creation myth.
