Wickes,The Inner World of Man.
"Then I saw that on the shaft there hung a human figure that held within itself all the loneliness of the world and of the spaces. Alone, and hoping for nothing, the One hung and gazed down into the void. For long the One gazed, drawing all solitude unto itself."

"Then deep in the fathomless dark was born an infinitesimal spark.
Slowly it rose from the bottomless depth, and as it rose it grew until it became a star. And the star hung in space just opposite the figure,
and the white light streamed upon the Lonely One."
"Between the conscious and the unconscious there is a kind of "uncertainty relationship,"
because the observer is inseparable from the observed
and always disturbs it by the act of observation.
In other words, exact observation of the unconscious prejudices observation of the conscious and vice versa.
Thus the self can appear in all shapes from the highest to the lowest, inasmuch as these transcend the scope of the ego personality in the manner of a daimonion."
Jung, Aion.
