some images evoking sacred feminine energies in nature, dakinis as it were.

"Of course, as well as being fundamental structures of religion, the two gendered creation myths are stories about different types of consciousness.

Christian religious heritage and the arts reveal, both types of consciousness are needed for human well-being.

Western modernity has privileged father-god Logos consciousness to the near extinction of the Eros qualities of connecting to the sacred other, as unconsciousness and/or divine nature."

good morning all✌🏽🙏🏻🖖

Jung's animus/anima interpreted to reimagine the feminine.

"In the beginning the earth was feminine and divine. The earth mother goddess is living sacred matter.

She creates humans from her divine body and nurtures us throughout life in her Eros connectedness and feeling."

"What ended goddess culture was the rise of male gods who were not identified with earth or nature. Instead, these were sky fathers who wrested the notion of origins from earth to the heavens."

"three designating symbols of the libido:

First, the comparison by analogy, as sun and fire.

Second, the comparisons based on causative relations, as

A: Object comparison. The libido is designated by its object, for example, the beneficent sun.

B: The subject comparison, in which the libido is designated by its place of origin or by analogies of this, for example, by

phallus or (analogous) snake”

Excerpt From
Psychology of the Unconscious.

Jung's comments:

"“Here libido becomes fire, flame and snake. The
Egyptian symbol of the “living disc of the sun,” the disc
with the two entwining snakes, contains the combination
of both the libido analogies. The disc of the sun with
its fructifying warmth is analogous to the fructifying
warmth of love. The comparison of the libido with sun
and fire is in reality analogous.”

Excerpt From
Psychology of the Unconscious / A Study of the Transformations and Symbolisms of the Libido.
C. G. Jung

“At all lonely ones I now throw my fishing rod.
Give answer to the flame’s impatience,
Let me, the fisher on high mountains,
Catch my seventh, last solitude!”

Nietzsche too🙏🏻THE BEACON

“Here, where the island grew amid the seas,
A sacrificial rock high-towering,
Here under darkling heavens,
“Zarathustra lights his mountain-fires.

“These flames with grey-white belly,
In cold distances sparkle their desire,
Stretches its neck towards ever purer heights—
A snake upreared in impatience:

“This signal I set up there before me.

This flame is mine own soul,
Insatiable for new distances,
Speeding upward, upward its silent heat."

continue

"but when and in what
manner I see this I do not know how to say, and when I see it
all weariness and need is lifted from me,

then too, I feel like a
simple girl and not like an old woman.”

good morning all🙏🏻✌🏽🖖

Hildegarde von Bingen (1100–1178)

“But the light I see is not local, but far off, and brighter than
the cloud which supports the sun.

I can in no way know the
form of this light since I cannot entirely see the sun’s disc.

But
within this light I see at times, and infrequently, another light
which is called by me the living light,"

Jung on God and Libido.

"Psychologically, God is the name of a representation-complex which is grouped around a strong feeling (the sum of libido).

Properly, the feeling is what gives character and reality to the complex.

If one honors God, the sun or the fire, then one honors one's own vital force, the libido.

It is as Seneca says: "God is near you, he is with you, in you." God is our own longing to which we pay divine honors."

good night all🥱🙏🏻✌🏽

#Teddy in his nest, i'm heading for mine.😴

Jung's comment on the analysis:

"This impressed itself inextinguishably upon the memory, and in analysis revealed a hidden meaning to the patient

which anticipated the subsequent events of life; that is to say, their psychologic meaning!

I am inclined to grant this meaning to the commotion of that restless night, because the resulting events of life...

that moment is to be considered as the inception and presentiment of a sublimated aim in life."
