Hello Thank you for your question. Mysterium Coniunctionis (1955) Collected Works, vol. 14: P. 706 Nothing in us ever remains quite uncontradicted, and consciousness can take up no position which will not call up, somewhere in the dark corners of the psyche, a negation or a compensatory effect, approval or resentment. This process of coming to terms with the Other in us is well worth while, because in this way we get to know aspects of our nature which we would not allow anybody else to show us and which we ourselves would never have admitted. http://psikoloji.fisek.com.tr/jung/persona.htm Mysterium Coniunctionis (1955) CW 14: P. 706 http://www.expandmind.com/jqp/Persona.html Search Criteria: Nothing in us ever remains quite uncontradicted Mysterium Coniunctionis If by any chance this is not the answer you require please let me know in order to continue my search before rating my answer and closing the question.

In my opinion, the above excerpt from Mysterium Coniunctionis indicates just how much of a gnostic Taoist Jung was in the sense that he understood quite well that self-knowledge (gnosis) is achieved through the conscious assimilation of the contents of the unconscious, including its dark "shadow" side, towards a goal of psychospiritual wholeness. Those who have studied Jung's profound works, especially Septem Sermones ad Mortuos (Seven Sermons to the Dead), will realize that "the Other in us" is in actuality the paradoxical Abraxas, which Jung defined as "a complexio oppositorum." Hermann Hesse's Demian is a brilliant example of Jung's psychologized Gnosticism. The characters and events of the novel constitute an allegory of the Jungian archetypes. Another version of psychologized Gnosticism is Doris Lessing's Briefing for a Descent into Hell which deals with the classical gnostic metaphors of sleeping and waking, forgetting and remembering. Her fascinating novel valorizes the main character's dissociated psychic fantasies at the expense of his mental "health." |
