The Courage to Be: An Antidote to Meaninglessness Eternalised 2022-02-24 | In The Courage to Be, Paul Tillich presents his antidote to meaninglessness and anxiety through the concept of courage. He was a German-American Christian existentialist philosopher born in 1886 and is considered as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. While lecturing on anxiety, Tillich noticed that there was an enormous response in the post-war era, especially in the younger people, and he sought to give an answer to the growing anxiety which had developed. The aftereffects of the two World Wars had left the world in a state of disorientation, estrangement, anxiety and meaninglessness.β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2022/02/24/the-courage-to-beβββββββββββββπ Recommended Reading βΆ The Courage to Beamzn.to/3M0gp3OβΆ Dynamics of Faithamzn.to/3viWUxlβΆ Systematic Theology: Three Volumes in Oneamzn.to/3hbjlfFπ§ Prefer Audiobooks?

For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. Eternalised 2024-10-18 | Paul the Apostle wrote, βI do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.β In psychological terms, we are possessed by a complex, behind which is the archetypal shadow. It is important to confront these negative energy forms before they lead us to actions, we might regret. Since we donβt care about them, they do not care about us.
The Psychology of Immature Masculinity Eternalised 2024-10-11 | The crisis in mature masculinity is very much upon us. Men feel anxious, on the verge of feeling impotent, helpless, frustrated, unloved, unappreciated, and often ashamed of being masculine. Something vital is missing in the many lives of men. For students of mythology and Jungian psychology, there is hope. The external deficiencies we faceβabsent fathers, immature role models, a lack of meaningful rituals, and the scarcity of ritual eldersβcan be overcome if we look within ourselves, and turn towards the archetypes of the mature masculine within our unconscious. In King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine, Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette explore the difference between Boy psychology or the archetypes of immature masculinity and Man psychology or the archetypes of mature masculinity, as well as their shadow sides.βThe more beautiful, competent, and creative we become, the more we seem to invite the hostility of our superiors, or even of our peers. What we are really being attacked by is the immaturity in human beings who are terrified of our advances on the road toward masculine or feminine fullness of being.ββ Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/10/11/the-psychology-of-immature-masculinityβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculineamzn.to/3BJI1czπ§ Prefer Audiobooks?

The Sad Clown Paradox Eternalised 2024-10-01 | The contradictory association between comedy and mental disorders (such as depression and anxiety) is known as the sad clown paradox, where comedy can act as a defence mechanism to remove supressed feelings of rage and aggression.People may respond with laughter at the clown, yet harbour feelings of pity, fear or repulsion β evoking ambivalent reactions. Some people, in fact, suffer from coulrophobia β the overwhelming fear of clowns. In this day and age, clowns are a constant source of horror in books and movies. Perhaps this is because the modern clownβs role is always the same: to entertain others by being the subject of laughter, and he is not always successful at it. The clown has to sacrifice his well-being by always having to put on the same face, and play the same character. This one-sidedness can take its toll mentally, and the clown slowly becomes enveloped by his shadow, the dark side of his personality. #clown #joker #comedy #sad
The Ultimate Tragic Story Eternalised 2024-09-24 | The Book of Job, in comparison with the story of Paradise, represents a significant advance in Godβs self-consciousness. Adam and Eve are expelled from Godβs presence as if their knowledge of good and evil were an offense against the creator. In Job one begins to realise that this knowledge is fruitful when free will is combined with the infinite wisdom of Godβs divine will. Out of this astonishing self-reflection induced in God by Jobβs stubborn righteousness, God develops empathy and love, and out of it a new relationship between God and humankind is born. God is pushed into a process of transformation that leads to His incarnation as Jesus Christ. The crucifixion and death of Christ is the ultimate tragic story, where the worst of all punishments is inflicted upon the one who least deserved it. The answer to Job is given in the supreme moment of Christβs despairing cry from the Cross, βMy God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?β
The Invocation of Angels Eternalised 2024-09-17 | The ancient instructive words to invoke the angel was βenflame thyself with prayer.β The Neo-Platonist philosopher Iamblichus was one of the first to formally ritualise the invocation of the angel. By invoking and consuming (integrating) the angel, one could achieve the status of a spiritual being, and finally achieve the knowledge of the gods. Purity is the defining factor for success or failure in the operation for conversing with oneβs holy guardian angel. The more pure the soul, the greater the affinity to the angel. Fasting is also an important ritual, because it brings one further away from the material, and closer to the spiritual. In the Book of Matthew, after Jesus spent 40 days fasting in the desert and the Devil failing to tempt Him, angels came and ministered to him. This is often interpreted as the angels feeding Jesus.
Abraxas - The Great Gnostic Archon and Carl Jung Eternalised 2024-09-11 | After his encounter with the ghosts, Jung sketched in his journal the outlines of his first mandala, the Systema Munditotius, which forms a pictorial cosmology of the vision conveyed in the Sermons. The figure of Abraxas, the Great Archon in Gnosticism, is depicted here, who represents the dark antithesis in the depths, the builder of the physical universe, a world-creator of an ambivalent nature. Sprouting from him we see the tree of life. The lower world of Abraxas is characterised by five, the number of natural man (the twice-five rays of his star). The accompanying animals of the natural world are a devilish monster and a larva, which signifies death and rebirth.#gnostic #carljung #archon #abraxas
Through the Labyrinth: A Guide to Navigating Chaos Eternalised 2024-09-06 | Confusion, wandering, isolation, darkness, disorientationβall evoke the labyrinth, a complex network of paths in which it is difficult to find oneβs way out. Or do they? The labyrinthβs original meaning has been entirely distorted, which is only to be expected from such a perplexing symbol. Today, the labyrinth is found everywhere: in architecture, art, books, movies, and games. The archetypal image of the labyrinth fundamentally expresses the path of life, full of dark corners and unexpected turns. If we overcome them, we are transformed and enlightened β if not, we become disoriented and find life meaningless.The labyrinth is an archetype, a primordial image that dates back to the Bronze Age (around 2500 to 2000 BC), making it one of the oldest symbols. It encompasses various images: the path of life, the Earth Mother, birth, dance, warding off evil, initiation, liminality, the descent into the underworld, symbolic death and rebirth, the journey to the Self, the alchemical Great Work and the pilgrimβs spiritual journey.β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/09/06/the-labyrinth-archetypeβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ Through the labyrinth: designs and meanings over 5,000 years - Hermann Kernamzn.to/4e5WAW1βΆ Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart - John Amos Comeniusamzn.to/4dWV0WVβΆ Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings - Jorge Luis Borgesamzn.to/3Z2LCvWβΆ Pilgrimβs Progress - John Bunyanamzn.to/3yZl9VKβΆ The Divine Comedy: Inferno; Purgatorio; Paradiso - Dante Alighieriamzn.to/3zkiHZQπ§ Prefer Audiobooks?

As Above, So Below - Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus Eternalised 2024-09-04 | Hermes Trismegistus writes in the Emerald Tablet: True it is, without falsehood, certain and most true. That which is below is like that which is above, and that which is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracle of one only thing... It ascends from the earth to the heaven, and descends again to the earth, and receives the power of the above and below. Thus you will have the glory of the whole world. Therefore all darkness will flee from you.Through the principle of correspondence, you bring the material to the spiritual and the spiritual back again to the material, imbuing your life with divine significance. #hermeticism #microcosm #macrocosm #asabovesobelow
Yahweh as Demiurge and Christ as Serpent - Gnosticism Eternalised 2024-08-28 | β[A]ccording to the old tradition, the creator of the world, the Demiurgos, was a blind demon who thought he had made human beings as unconscious as possible in order that they should not see the imperfection. But the god of the spiritual world was quite different, he never made material creations because that was beneath his dignity, only demons could work with dirt, and he saw the misery of those blind human beings, and sent his son in the form of the serpent in paradise to tell them they ought to change, they ought to eat the forbidden fruit in order to become conscious and see the difference between good and bad β knowing good and evil, as the text says. So, the son of God made his first appearance on earth in the form of the snake in paradise, giving good advice to the first parents.β - Carl Jung, Visions Seminar, Vol. 2 (6 December 1933)For certain Gnostics then, the serpent is equated with Christ, a positive messenger from God bringing illumination to man. #carljung #gnosticism
The Proverbs of Hell Eternalised 2024-08-16 | Blake states that Hell is full of Energy, and βEnergy is Eternal Delight.β Blakeβs technique of revelation by βthe infernal methodβ of βmelting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hidβ, reveals the Proverbs of Hell β which show a wisdom different from the Biblical Book of Proverbs, some of these include:βThe road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom.ββHe who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.ββIf the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.ββYou never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.ββExcess of sorrow laughs, excess of joy weeps.ββAlways be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.ββThe soul of sweet delight can never be defiled.β#hell #williamblake #energy #proverbs
The Fruit of The Great Work Eternalised 2024-08-10 | The Gnostic philosopher Simon Magus taught that the universe consists of fire of which one half creates the visible world, the other remains invisible. He compares this to the tree of life, whose visible part are the leaves, branches, trunk, etc., which will be destroyed by fire in the end. But the fruit of the tree which is an image of God in the human soul, survives after death, and is stored in a βheavenly barnβ. Psychologically, the fruit is the result of our efforts towards conscious realisation, which seems capable of continuing to have effects after death. Thus, a man who had suffered a great deal in his professional life dreamt that a voice told him, βYour work and your life, which you have endured consciously, have redeemed hundreds in your generation and will have an illuminating influence upon hundreds of generations to come.β
The Psychology of Animals Eternalised 2024-08-07 | Animals have been an integral part of human existence since our earliest origins. They are deeply ingrained within us and play a crucial role in the unconscious. In various religions, animals are revered as gods. Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Jung frequently remarked that animals embodied the divine aspect of the human psyche. He wrote a bold statement for a thinker of his era, "Even domestic animals, to whom we erroneously deny a conscience, have complexes and moral reactions.βWe belong to the animal kingdom, and knowing this is part of the individuation process, the journey towards wholeness. Yet, we seem to have forgotten our roots.The animal is a symbol of the Self. It embodies the complete wisdom of nature yet does not possess the light of human consciousness. Animals are deeply connected to a βsecretβ order within nature itself and the absolute knowledge of the unconscious, living according to their own inner laws beyond human notions of good and evil. Animals live exactly as they were meant to live, and grasp a sense of wholeness instinctively, rather than intellectually. They are the ones who can lead us to this source of natural life. β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/08/07/the-psychology-of-animalsβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ Archetypal Symbolism in Animals β Barbara Hannahamzn.to/3AaM1lWβΆ Grimmβs Fairy Talesamzn.to/3WwtBDkβΆ The Interpretation of Fairy Tales β Marie-Louise von Franzamzn.to/3yxI8qtβΆ Archetypal Patterns in Fairy Tales β Marie-Louise von Franzamzn.to/3Wm2ta4βΆ The Cat: A Tale of Feminine Redemption β Marie-Louise von Franzamzn.to/3ya7Z80βΆ Animal Presences: Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, Vol. 9amzn.to/3WwgylqβΆ Aesopβs Talesamzn.to/4fqrhGOβΆ Medieval Book of Beastsamzn.to/4foDzPTπ§ Prefer Audiobooks?

The Meaning of The Devil (Diablo) Eternalised 2024-08-02 | The English word βdevilβ derives from the Greek diΓ‘bolos (βthe one who dividesβ). Diabolic is the term in contemporary English. The Greek verb dia-bollein literally means to tear apart. The antonym to the diabolic is the βsymbolicβ, which comes from sym-bollein (to put together or unite). American existentialist psychologist Rollo May writes:βThe symbolic is that which draws together, ties, integrates the individual in himself and with his group; the diabolic, in contrast, is that which disintegrates and tears apart.βWhen a community forms, it can be a source of brotherly love, to βlove thy neighbour as thyselfβ. The Devil, on the other hand, scatters and produces discord. The scattering is a sign of the darker power, whether it be the division of communities, families, or culture. Hence, βdivide and conquerβ,
The Psychological Activities of The Demonic Eternalised 2024-07-24 | Temptation is the ordinary activity of the devil. It is a real thing for us in each and every day. The gate that leads to destruction is broad and many enter through it. But the gateway to peace is narrow, and none may enter save through affliction of the soul. Temptation begins with deception, buying into the lies of the devil, who promises good, only to deliver evil. The goal of this is to create division or inner conflict in ourselves, paralysing our capacity to choose and causing us to spiral downward. In despair, we look for a substitute in life and numb ourselves with pleasure or diversion, which can lead to addiction. Hell is that state of mind which has abandoned itself so completely to a given sin that it cannot act independently of that sin. #devil #temptation #psychology
The Magician and The Trickster Eternalised 2024-07-17 | The underlying essence of the magical art is revelation. The Magician has the power to reveal the basic structure underlying all appearance, by stripping away the unnecessary details. Behind the βten thousand thingsβ, all is One. It is as if the Trickster conceals this fundamental reality from us, until we do the necessary inner work to realise the illusion of appearances. This is the veil of maya which conceals the true character of spiritual reality, creating the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real. In Hinduism, we are part of the Supreme Beingβs leela (divine play). All of reality is the outcome of the divine play of the Supreme Being, revealing the interconnectedness of all existence. The goal is to understand our role in this cosmic game, while realising that the Δtman (true self or essence) is identical to Brahman (unchanging and supreme reality).#magician #ternalised #trickster
The Sorcerers Apprentice Archetype Eternalised 2024-07-11 | One of the leading archetypes of our time is the sorcererβs apprentice. This archetype is depicted by Goethe. As a sorcerer departs his workshop, he leaves his apprentice to work on chores. The apprentice gets tired and enchants a broom to do the work for him by infusing it with summoned spirits. Things start to get out of control, and the apprentice does not know how to undo his spell. The sorcerer returns and quickly breaks the spell, dispelling the spirits before they could do more damage. The story concludes with the old sorcererβs statement that only a master should invoke powerful spirits. As Goethe famously states:βThe spirits that I summonedI now cannot rid myself of again.βThe archetype of the sorcererβs apprentice portrays the zeitgeist of the 21st century: nuclear energy, genetic engineering, cloning, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, etc.#sorcerer #archetype #goethe
The Psychology of UFOs - Carl Jung Eternalised 2024-07-05 | Strange sightings have been reported in the sky throughout history. After the Second World War, however, the appearance of UFOs became prominent in culture. Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung studied the UFO phenomenon for more than a decade until his death in 1961. He wrote a book entitled Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, where he saw UFOs as a living myth for modern man, stating that we have the golden opportunity of seeing how a legend is formed, and how in a difficult and dark time for humanity a miraculous tale grows up of an attempted intervention by superior or βheavenlyβ beings.Jungβs field of interest is the human reaction to the phenomena, an effort to understand the complex working of our interior life, as this is revealed through the UFO phenomenon. UFOs are visionary rumours whose basis is an emotional tension having its cause in a situation of collective distress or in a vital psychic need β shedding light on the psychic compensation of the collective fear weighing on our hearts. UFOs have become a saviour myth, as we have projected on them a hope, an expectation. They express the symbol of totality represented by the mandala, the archetype of the Self, whose chief role is in uniting apparently irreconcilable opposites and is therefore best suited to compensate the split-mindedness of our age, bringing order and regulation to chaotic states.β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/07/05/the-psychology-of-ufosβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies - Carl Jungamzn.to/3RRw8GLβΆ Passport to Magonia: From Folklore to Flying Saucers - Jacques VallΓ©eamzn.to/3W3el1XβΆ Crop Circles, Jung, and the Reemergence of the Archetypal Feminine - Gary S.

Psychology and Astrology - Carl Jung Eternalised 2024-07-03 | Jung found a puzzling thing, that there is a really curious coincidence between astrological and psychological facts, so that one can isolate time from the characteristics of an individual, and also, one can deduce characteristics from a certain time. We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season in which we are born. Astrology is a symbolic portrait of the cyclical repetitions of time, and the stars are simply used to serve as indicators of time. Psychology has little to do with the stars as a clock, which is merely an instrument used to measure a certain moment. Whatever is born or done at this particular moment of time, has the quality of this moment of time. Therefore, time proves to be a stream of energy filled with qualities and not an abstract concept. #carljung #astrology
The Psychology of The Number One Eternalised 2024-06-19 | Psychologically, the number 1 refers to primal unconsciousness. It is a state of non-differentiation, in which we are not yet aware of our potential, which lies undiscovered and undeveloped. As such, it symbolises the principle of individuation in the state of unrealised potential.One is no number, hen to pan (one is all). This is expressed in the ancient symbol of the ouroboros, depicting a snake eating its own tail. Jung writes:βOne, as the first numeral, is unity. But it is also βthe unityβ, the One, All-Oneness, individuality and non-dualityβnot a numeral, but a philosophical concept, an archetype and attribute of God, the monad.βIt is not surprising that the number 1 or monad is generally treated as a symbol of unity and the origin of all things.#numbers #psychology
The Psychology of The Paranormal - Carl Jung Eternalised 2024-06-05 | Since early childhood, Carl Jung experienced paranormal phenomena, that is, phenomena that are beyond the scope of scientific understanding. They were virtually commonplace in Jungβs family. Jungβs personal experiences with the paranormal would set him on a quest to find an explanation of these events with his theory of analytical psychology, as well as sparking his interest in parapsychology, the study of psychic or paranormal phenomena, especially regarding extrasensory perception or ESP (precognition, clairvoyance, telepathy, intuition, etc).Jung attended sΓ©ances which formed the basis of his doctoral dissertation published in 1902, entitled On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena. Jung admits that his period of the sΓ©ances with his medium cousin contained the origin of all his ideas. He had discovered some objective facts about the human psyche. From then on, Jung got his first glimpse of the fact that there was another world (the unconscious) which had a life of its own quite apart from the life of consciousness.β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/06/05/the-psychology-of-the-paranormal-carl-jungβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ Memories, Dreams, Reflections - Carl Jungamzn.to/3waQbIJβΆ Reflections on the Life and Dreams of C.G.

The Gold in the Shadow Eternalised 2024-06-03 | There is gold in the shadow, and this gold needs to be mined and brought to the surface as psychological insight. Jungian analyst Robert A. Johnson writes: βCuriously, people resist the noble aspects of their shadow more strenuously than they hide the dark sides. To draw the skeleton out of the closet is relatively easy, but to own the gold in the shadow is terrifying.β - Robert A. Johnson, Owning Your Own ShadowThere are two wolves fighting inside all of us. The first one is evil, the second one is good. Which one will win? The one you feed. However, if you choose to feed only the light wolf, the shadow wolf will be starved and resentful, and he will attack you when you least expect it. But if you feed both wolves, inner conflict turns into inner peace. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.#shadow #gold #carljung
Encounter with the Self Eternalised 2024-05-09 | When we are faced against a wall, and all seems lost, it is not unusual to have an encounter with the Self. This is symbolically represented in the biblical motif of Jacob wrestling with the βdarkβ angel, and while he dislocated his hip, his struggle prevented a murder. That is how one grows: by being defeated decisively by greater beings. In a sense, Jacob wrestles with himself, and afterwards becomes reborn, receiving the new name, Israel, he who wrestles with God. Jacob finds his identity by wrestling with his dark side, and discovers the light. There are four features of this story, an encounter with a superior being, wounding, perseverance, and divine revelation, that together form the theme of βthe encounter with the Self.β
How Dreams Can Anticipate Death and Point to the Afterlife Eternalised 2024-05-02 | Death is one of the greatest mysteries of human existence, the inevitable fate that unites us all. Whenever man is confronted with something mysterious and unknown such as the origin of the world, death, the afterlife, etc., the unconscious produces symbolic representations. In her groundbreaking book, On Dreams and Death, Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz writes about death dreams, that is, dreams of people who subsequently died. Therefore, they are of a precognitive nature, as they can anticipate the death of someone. In death dreams, the end of physical life is represented in a symbolic way, but almost always accompanied by manifestations that allude to the continuation of the personβs life.βIt is in fact true, as Jung has emphasised, that the unconscious psyche pays very little attention to the abrupt end of bodily life and behaves as if the psychic life of the individual, that is, the individuation process, will simple continueβ¦ The unconscious βbelievesβ quite obviously in a life after death.β - Marie-Louise von Franzβ Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/05/02/the-psychology-of-death-dreamsβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ On Death and Dreams - M.L. von Franzamzn.to/4dfmQgOβΆ Ego and Archetype - Edward Edingeramzn.to/44kVYbuβΆ Memories, Dreams, Reflections - Carl Jungamzn.to/3waQbIJβΆ Life after Life - Raymond Moodyamzn.to/4b45hyyπ§ Prefer Audiobooks?

Alchemy: The Art of Self Realisation Eternalised 2024-04-30 | If the alchemists were ever able to produce artificial gold is unknown. It seemed to be the goal of the alchemists and composed thousands of years of earnest behaviour. For Jung, however, the task was and has always been psychological. The end product is not material in nature, but rather spiritual. Alchemy is the art of expanding consciousness, of self-realisation.βThere is in natural things a certain truth which cannot be seen with the outward eye, but is perceived by the mind alone, and of this the Philosophers have had experience, and have ascertained that its virtue is such as to work miraclesβ¦ Transform yourselves from dead stones into living philosophical stones!β - Gerhard Dorn, Theatrum Chemicum
Nigredo: The Dark Night of The Soul (Alchemy) Eternalised 2024-04-16 | The nigredo represents the fifth alchemical operation, mortificatio. We can observe this process in nature, such as the decomposition of bodies, the falling of leaves, the rotting down of fruits, etc., where nutrients are recycled back to the earth. The idea of something turning black is matter beginning to die and rot (putrefactio). The nigredo is seen as the most negative of the operations, and often referred to as a βblack blacker than blackβ, a place without light. It is the dark night of the soul. The process is a purging of the horrible darkness of our mind. This stage is represented by the raven, and includes death, suffering, grief, depression, loneliness, weariness of life, and suicide. It is seen in those who experience a crisis of meaning in life, who feel as they are swallowed up by the ground, and the only way out is to begin their inner work.
The Twelve Powers of Darkness - Hermeticism Eternalised 2024-04-05 | While the master can point at a direction, it is the pupil that has to meditate by himself, and will have to work on his own soul, and Hermes tells his son:βThis ignorance, O son, is the first of these tormentors. The second is sorrow; the third is intemperance; the fourth lust; the fifth injustice; the sixth greed; the seventh deceit; the eighth envy; the ninth treachery; the tenth anger; the eleventh recklessness; the twelfth malice. These are twelve in number, but besides these there are many others, my son. They compel the inner man who dwells in the prison of his body to suffer through his senses. These tormentors depart one by one from the man who receives Godβs mercy. This constitutes the manner and teaching of rebirth.β- Hermes Trismegistus, Corpus Hermeticum Book 13
The Psychology of The Villain Eternalised 2024-03-26 | The villain is the most captivating and intriguing of all archetypes. The hero would not exist without his darker counterpart, which reflects aspects of ourselves that we do not dare to acknowledge or confront, but which are present within all of us. The villain is often a mirror of the dark aspects of humanity, embodying qualities that are evil, harmful, greedy, selfish, and destructive. In recent times, villains can even become sympathetic, and possess redeeming qualities, making some of them oddly likeable despite their malicious intent and immoral actions, thus challenging our traditional notions of good and evil. This type of villain has never existed to the degree it exists in the 21st century, symbolising a major change in the collective unconsciousβwhich speaks to a psychological experience that is common to us all.β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/03/26/the-psychology-of-the-villainβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ Frankensteinamzn.to/3IJV8uIβΆ Paradise Lostamzn.to/4csSmb1βΆ Crime and Punishmentamzn.to/3TJJqXaβΆ Batman: The Killing Jokeamzn.to/4ao73dkβΆ Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydeamzn.to/3ILIBXFβΆ A Wizard of Earthsea amzn.to/3ILPhFaβΆ The Prince amzn.to/4a7WNXeπ§ Prefer Audiobooks?

Carl Jungs Rare Synchronicity (The Scarab) Eternalised 2024-03-21 | βA young woman I was treating had, at a critical moment, a dream in which she was given a golden scarab. While she was telling me this dream I sat with my back to the closed window. Suddenly I heard a noise behind me, like a gentle tapping. I turned round and saw a flying insect knocking against the window-pane from outside. I opened the window and caught the creature in the air as it flew in. It was the nearest analogy to a golden scarab that one finds in our latitudes, a scarabaeid beetle, the common rose-chafer (Cetonia aurata), which contrary to its usual habits had evidently felt an urge to get into a dark room at this particular moment. I must admit that nothing like it ever happened to me before or since, and that the dream of the patient has remained unique in my experience.β - Carl Jung, Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle
Life before Books Eternalised 2024-03-12 | Philosophy is to be understood as experience, it has to be felt rather than thought. Life before books, and when one reads, one should go to the authors themselves, rather than commentaries. Schopenhauer writes, βWhen we read, another person thinks for us; we merely repeat his mental processβ¦ So it comes about that if anyone spends almost the whole day in readingβ¦ he gradually loses the capacity for thinkingβ¦such is the case with very many scholars; they have read themselves stupidβ¦ Experience of the world may be looked upon as a kind of text, to which reflection and knowledge form the commentary. When there is a great deal of reflection and intellectual knowledge, and very little experience, the result is like those books which have on each page two lines of text to forty lines of commentary."
The Meaning of Hell - Carl Jung Eternalised 2024-03-05 | βWhat do you think of the essence of Hell? Hell is when the depths come to you with all that you no longer are or are not yet capable of. Hell is when you can no longer attain what you could attain. Hell is when you think and feel and do everything that you know you do not want. Hell is when you know that your having to is also a wanting to, and that you yourself are responsible for it. Hell is when you know that everything serious that you have planned with yourself is also laughable, that everything fine is also brutal, that everything good is also bad, that everything high is also low, and that everything pleasant is also shameful.β - Carl Jung, The Red BookThe roots of the tree of life reach into Hell and the top touches Heaven. Through uniting with the self we reach the God, which unites Heaven and Hell in itself. The self functions as a union of opposites, and thus constitutes the most immediate experience of the divine which is at all psychologically comprehensible.#carljung #redbook
The Wise Fool Eternalised 2024-02-27 | The wisest of all, in my opinion, is he who can, if only once a month, call himself a foolβa faculty unheard of nowadays. - Fyodor DostoevskyIn literature, wise characters sometimes depict insanity and madmen express wisdom. The oxymoron, βwise foolβ, is a literal paradox where the character who is identified as a fool comes to be regarded as the beholder of wisdom. People sometimes accuse wise people of insanity in order to βconcealβ their unwanted wisdom either fearing the harsh words on many controversial topics or simply to punish them for speaking boldly. The archetypal wise fool is Socrates. Not only was his educational method based on exposing the folly of the supposedly wise, but he himself claimed that his own wisdom was derived from an awareness of his ignorance. Knowledge of ignorance is itself a kind of knowledge. As Shakespeare writes: βThe fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.β#fool #wisdom
The Psychology of The Magician Eternalised 2024-02-18 | The Magician is the most mysterious and fascinating of all archetypes. He is a person who has gained access to esoteric or occult (hidden) knowledge, bringing the spiritual to the material. Thus, he is an initiate of secret and hidden knowledge of all kinds. As the Emerald Tablet teaches us, βAs above, so below, and as below, so above, to accomplish the marvels of the One work.β The Magician is often the mentor or guide to his people, and even to the king. Psychologically, the Magician is the archetype of transformation, transforming old realities into new ones. He is the archetype of self-realisation par excellence. The Magician aids us in our lifelong task of attaining a higher level of consciousness, and of recognising that higher power which is greater than ourselves. β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/02/18/the-psychology-of-the-magicianβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ Awakening the Heroes Within - Carol S.

Trickster as Creator and Destroyer Eternalised 2024-02-16 | Without chaos, society loses its culture, the system becomes flawed, stale and bureaucratic. Therefore, trickster not only destroys old values, but also creates new values. He reshapes the surrounding world with inner magic, continually weaving old into new.In spite of all their disruptive behaviour, tricksters are regularly honoured as the creators of culture. They are imagined not only to have stolen certain essential goods from heaven and given them to the race but to have gone on and helped shape this world so as to make it a hospitable place for human life.Apart from creation, trickster teaches us that we all have the capacity for destruction.Trickster is at one and the same time creator and destroyer, giver and negator, he who dupes and who is always duped himself.
The Fools Journey is the Heros Journey Eternalised 2024-02-03 | The fool is both the beginning and the end of the journey. He is heroic because he jumps off the place of comfort into the place of the unknown. The Foolβs Journey is similar to the monomyth of the Heroβs Journey, in which the hero has a call to adventure and must leave the safety and comfort of the Ordinary World and enter into the unknown and difficult territory of the Special World. Here he must defeat his dragon (worst fear, event, person or memory long avoided), and gather the gold, the βtreasure hard to attainβ. The journey is a psychological and spiritual death and rebirth, in which an old aspect of oneself dies, giving birth to a new and more capable self. Finally, the hero must return to his people in the Ordinary World and share the gift acquired in the Special World with others, something with the power to heal, whether it is wisdom, love, or simply the experience of surviving the Special World.
The Psychology of Numbers Eternalised 2024-01-11 | Numbers do not merely have a quantitative nature, but also a qualitative one (for Pythagoras they were divine). Numbers have life, they are not just symbols on paper. Several philosophers, alchemists and mystics throughout history have associated religious or mystical ideas to numbers. In ancient times, people associated mystical meaning to words and names based on their numerical value, which became the basis for 20th century numerology that seeks to understand personality through numbers. Carl Jung describes number as the most primitive archetype (the archetype of order), which provides a vital link between matter and psyche (united by the unus mundus).Psychologically, the most primitive numbers are 1 to 4, which form the basis for all the rest of the numbers, and as such it is not surprising that they are the most recurring ones in the psyche. These remarkably symbolise the human creation myth and the purpose of life. To paraphrase Pythagoras, βNumber rules the universe.ββ Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2024/01/11/the-psychology-of-numbersβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ The Theology of Arithmetic - Iamblichusamzn.to/48GIqYIβΆ Number and Time: Reflections Leading Toward a Unification of Depth Psychology and Physics β M.L. von Franzamzn.to/4aKT4Q4βΆ The Three Books of Occult Philosophy: Book II - Heinrich Cornelius Agrippaamzn.to/41KANy0π§ Prefer Audiobooks?

Purgatory - Cleansing of the Soul Eternalised 2023-12-20 | After seeing all the sins in Hell, one has work of purification to do in Purgatory. The envious who looked with hatred upon other people and wanted to deprive them of their happiness out of resentment have their eyelids sewn shut. The wrathful walk around in blinding black smoke, which symbolises the blinding effect of anger. The slothful have to run, the greedy lie face-down on the ground and pray, the gluttonous are starved in the presence of trees whose fruit is forever out of reach, and the lustful have to go through a wall of fire as a means of purification. Purgatory is like our real world, it is a place of transition. Heaven is above us, and hell is below us. We all have inner work to do. We must rather strive to lead as virtuous a life as we can. The goal is not perfection, but wholeness.
The Cosmos has Awareness and Feeling Eternalised 2023-12-12 | The world of nature, humans, and spirits are all reflections each other. The cosmos has awareness and feeling. The shamanic world view acknowledges a kinship among all aspects of nature, and is a channel for the knowledge of the primordial ancestors: Grandfather Fire, Grandmother Growth, Father Sun, and Mother Earth, among others. These reside in the realm of gods beyond space and time. They are among us and yet unspeakably far away. Ceremony and sacrifice can be regarded as attempts to re-establish the mystical unity of Paradise. We were all born from the spirit and once we have lived, we will return to the spirit. The shaman knows that he is a spirit that seeks a greater spirit.
We Are All Capable of Evil Eternalised 2023-12-06 | The reality of evil is a source of deep and uncanny fascination. In fact, it seems that while many of us choose good over evil, some of us cannot help but to fall into the temptation of doing evil. Nothing is easier than to denounce the evil doer. Nothing more difficult than understanding him. We must be aware of the evil within, so as not to fall prey to its effects. When we merely identify ourselves with the good and deny our capacity for evil, we inevitably project it unto other people. It takes control of us as an autonomous power, often clearly visible to others, if not to us. The Devil has a character of an autonomous personality which is greater than manβs consciousness and greater than his will.When you point a finger to someone, three fingers point back to you. The only reality is that everyone is capable of evil, and the proper moral position is knowing evil, choosing not to do evil.
The Psychology of Astrology Eternalised 2023-11-29 | The Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung studied astrology for over 40 years, and was primarily interested in the way astrology could help to explore the psyche. For Jung, astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity. The notion of seeing mythic narratives through patterns in the heavens is one of the earliest attempts to link the outer world with the inner world. The well-known Hermetic dictum, βAs above, so below,β is key to astrology. It is the idea that man (the microcosm), is influenced by the universe (the macrocosm). That is to say, truths about the nature of the cosmos may be inferred from truths about human nature, and vice versa. At the exact moment of birth, each person receives the typical qualities of the libido or energy which is characteristic of him or her. Time, or the moment understood as a peculiar form of energy, seems to coincide with our psychological condition. For Jung, this leads to a peculiar hypothesis, that our personality does not have to do with the position of the stars, but rather with the qualitative effect of time, also called synchronicity, based on the ancient Stoic concept of cosmic sympathy.β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2023/11/29/the-psychology-of-astrologyβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ C.G.

Human and Machine - H.R. Gigers Biomechanical Art Eternalised 2023-11-28 | Gigerβs art is referred to as biomechanical, the combination of human anatomy with machines. This is something that characterises our modern age of technology, the world of machines, that are slowly taking over our life, to the extent that many of us cannot live without technology. We have become entangled in it. Much of Gigerβs art comes from unconscious conflicts and dreams, a focused self-exploration that led him to his inner dark abyss. By seeking the source of his own nightmares, Giger discovered the paramount psychological importance of the trauma of biological birth. His art shows the cycle of birth, sexuality, and death. Eros and Thanatos, interwoven. There is a deep connection between these three themes, which can allow us to reunite with the source of our being.#biomechanical #art #hrgiger
ZdzisΕaw BeksiΕski: The Nightmare Artist Eternalised 2023-11-24 | BeksiΕski was a self-taught artist who wanted to paint in such a manner as if he were photographing dreams. His work depicts what seems to be post-apocalyptic or nightmarish landscapes, with decay, death, skeletons, and deformed figures. He did not draw inspiration from anyone, apart from listening to classical music and simply painting whatever came in his mind. BeksiΕski was uninterested in interpretating his artworks and refused to provide titles for any of them. He himself was known as a pleasant person.
Nightmares are the Shock Therapy of Nature Eternalised 2023-11-21 | Nightmares are the most substantial and vitally important dreams, and are of therapeutic value. They wake us up with a cry, as if all our repressed content forms a bubble which expands until it bursts one night, and we experience a nightmare. This built-up of tension in the unconscious can potentially be expressed in prior dreams, there is something that wants to be brought into consciousness.After waking up from a bad dream, we are forced to acknowledge our unconscious conflicts, but tend to forget about them, and carry on with our daily lives, unaware of the psychological damage we do to ourselves. Nightmares are the shock therapy nature uses on us when we are too unaware of some psychological danger. They shock us out of deep unconscious sleepiness about some dangerous situation. As if the unconscious says, βLook here, this problem is urgent!β The psyche tells us to βwake upβ and face what we have neglected. The majority of nightmares represent opportunities for personal healing through much-needed emotional release.
Active Imagination: The Wisdom of the Unconscious Eternalised 2023-11-17 | The ego is a small island surrounded by a deep unseen ocean of energy where huge forces are at work. Active imagination is underwater diving. Though our ego is small in comparison, we shouldnβt take everything the inner figures say as final authority. That would be just as one-sided as our ego-centred approach. Active imagination starts out from affirming that the unconscious has its own wisdom. It should not be confused with guided meditation practice, which seeks to βprogramβ the unconscious so that it will do what the ego wants it to do. There is no script, nothing is predetermined. You will have to go your own way, which is both terrifying and exhilarating. You must ultimately walk the path alone.
The Path of The Eternally Alone Eternalised 2023-11-14 | The way to truth is a journey of a lonely person to that which is eternally alone. It is in this state that one is forced upon oneself, bound to become aware of oneβs background. It is this aloneness that is the power of the Grail. Each individual has to call entirely upon his own internal resources. One must dedicate oneself to a sacred purpose, and purify oneβs own nature by a vow taken to the highest part of oneself, moving from the struggle of oneβs sinful nature, to the enlightenment of oneβs inner soul. This leads to tranquility, peace with reality. An acceptance of oneself and oneβs flaws, of oneβs place in the world, and of oneβs spiritual duty. #alone #eternal #peace
Carl Jungs Dreams Before Death Eternalised 2023-11-10 | In 1961, Jung had just finished his last work, a contribution to Man and His Symbols entitled βApproaching the Unconsciousβ, after a dream advised him to make his works accessible for the general public. Three days before his death, he had several dreams, the last of which were communicated to us. He dreamed that he was high up in a high place around a boulder of stone in the full sun. Carved into it were the words, βTake this as a symbol of the wholeness you have achieved and the singleness you have become.β In another dream he saw a square and trees growing in it. The roots of the trees were intertwined with gold, a symbol of resolution, the alchemical symbol of wholeness. The collective unconscious was saying to him as it were: βYou have earned the freedom to move on! You have done your work. You have done it well and it will grow.β#jung #dreams
You Are Your Greatest Enemy Eternalised 2023-11-07 | Contemplation and quietude enable the individual to allow the best of his or her own inner life to come through. For the undisciplined person, however, relaxation ends in disorientation and misery, as he is assaulted by his own defects and negative thoughts. One has not yet conquered these hidden shadowy parts of oneself, and no rest is given until one does. The disciplined person relaxes and is quiet. He is in peace with life and himself, for he knows the inevitable problems that we all have to face in life, and which we must learn from. He understands that his greatest enemy has always been himself, and until he conquers that he can go no further. Until he does so, he will see himself as a victim of the trials and tribulations of life, which adds to the burden of his own unconscious.#enemy #enlightenment #peace
The Sage and Cosmic Consciousness Eternalised 2023-11-03 | Whereas the average person has lost touch with the world, and does not see reality as it is, the Sage sees himself as part of a cosmic consciousness, and he experiences ecstasy, standing outside of himself, without ceasing to be himself. "To see a World in a Grain of SandAnd a Heaven in a Wild Flower,Hold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour.β- William Blake#cosmic #consciousness #sage
The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom Eternalised 2023-10-31 | The theological foundation is that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This is not a servile fear, but the fear of being in the presence of the infinitely great. Hineini is a powerful phrase in Hebrew meaning βHere I amβ. It is the bearing of oneself either in the presence of God or another human being. Here I am, fully in your presence. The fear of the Lord is a fear of the numinous, the experience of a mysterious terror and awe in the presence of God, a fear that comes forth out of love for God.
He who knows Himself knows God Eternalised 2023-10-27 | In a medieval manuscript, a king lives on the rim of a wheel, which we may call our subjective and temporal truths: money, pleasure, fame, power, etc. The king moves in a never-ending process of: βI am reigningβ, βI have reignedβ, βI have lost my kingdomβ, and βI shall reignβ. He spends all his life worrying about what he is going to lose, because of his attachment to things that are temporal. In the centre, however, is the objective and eternal truth, represented as Christ (a symbol of the Self), which stays eternally firm no matter what happens in life. This is God, an infinite sphere, the centre of which is everywhere, the circumference nowhere. The Sage seeks to align himself to this infinite centre, and attain inner calm. The Self is a God-image. He who knows himself knows God. We reach God through the Self, but God is not the Self, for he is behind and above it.
The Psychology of Angels Eternalised 2023-10-25 | Angels have fascinated human consciousness since the beginning of time. The word angel derives from the Greek angelos, which is the default translation of the Biblical Hebrew term malβΔkh (literally βmessengerβ). The angel is a messenger between God and mankind.Whether we talk about angels, daimons, djinns, fairies, or any other of such beings, they all hold something in common, despite their difference in appearance, namely, they are all archetypal images of the same fundamental pattern, the archetype of the ethereal being. These spirits coexist with us; they just exist at another level of reality.As the archetypal image of the call, the angel initiates individuation, the journey towards wholeness of personality (the Self), as well theosis (union with God). Therefore, angels can help us both psychologically and spiritually. The integration of the angel archetype allows us to examine the nature of our essence or soul, the uniqueness that asks to be lived in each of us, and that unfolds itself during our lifetime. Thus, angels carry our true vocation, which is a calling, towards the meaning of our life.β Support this work on Patreon: patreon.com/eternalisedπΊ Support this work on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/joinπ Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.comπ eBooks ko-fi.com/eternalised/shopβ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalisedπ PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficialπ¨ Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribeπ My personal library: eternalisedofficial.com/libraryπ¨ Access transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2023/10/25/the-psychology-of-angelsβββββββββββββπ Recommended ReadingβΆ The City of God β Saint Augustineamzn.to/405uOTuβΆ The Soulβs Code β James Hillmanamzn.to/3M3QQjJβΆ The Life of Saint Teresa of Γvila by Herselfamzn.to/3s1WZGvβΆ Journal of Dreams β Emanuel Swedenborgamzn.to/3S7MlsyβΆ Marriage of Heaven and Hell β William Blakeamzn.to/3QpclyjβΆ The Essential Sermons & more β Meister Eckhartamzn.to/45D2rgPβΆ Duino Elegies β Rainer Maria Rilkeamzn.to/45D21afβΆ The Way of the Dream β M.L. von Franzamzn.to/4051Pzoπ§ Prefer Audiobooks?
