These are the SoulCollageĀ® cards referred to in the 1/15/17 tele-class
with SoulCollage Facilitator Marilyn Montgomery from California.
As a support and protection for working with the archetypes in Jung’s Red Book, I made this card from one of Jung’s own paintings.
The first two major archetypes that appear in Jung’s Red Book are:
the Spirit of the Times and the Spirit of the Depths.
the Spirit of the Times and the Spirit of the Depths.
Jung says: Ā “The spirit of the times would like to hear of use and value.Ā Filled with human pride and blinded by the presumptuous spirit of the times, I long sought to hold that other spirit away from me.”
“The Spirit of the depths has subjugated all pride and arrogance to the power of judgment.Ā He took away my belief in science, he robbed me of the joy of explaining and ordering things, and he let devotion to the ideals of the time die out in me.”
Here are a couple of my cards for these two archetypes:Ā
What carries you through is not the meanings, but the images who are your companions.Ā You can receive all the explanations and understandings in the world but what carries you through are the voices and figures you live with and talk with.Ā It is so radically different from everything else in psychology, so radically different from today’s culture of technology, economics, reason and information.
~ James Hillman, from his book A Blue Fire
This quote is from a talk Hillman gave on the Red Book:When there was nothing else to hang on to, Jung turned to the personified images of interior vision.Ā He entered Ā into an interior drama, took himself into an imaginative fiction and then began his healing.Ā It is from this moment that Jung becomes that extraordinary advocate of the reality of the psyche.
