  • So long as you feel the human contact, the atmosphere of mutual confidence, there is no danger; and even if you have to face the terrors of insanity, or the shadowy menace of suicide, there is still that area of human faith, that certainty of understanding and of being understood, no matter how black the night CW17 ¶ 181

  • That which must be kept alive at all costs is the spirit that creates the laws, the arts, the moral values: this forms as it were the top-soil of civilization; and when it is entirely eroded centuries and even millennia may be needed to recover it.

  • One of the reasons for the lack of attention to the training of the mind-body is that this particular kind of teaching does not fall into any academic pigeonhole. This is one of the great problems in education: Everything takes place in a pigeonhole… The pigeonholes must be there because we cannot avoid specialization; but what we do need in academic institutions now is a few people who run about on the woodwork between the pigeonholes, and peep into all of them and see what can be done, and who are not closed to disciplines which do not happen to fit into any of the categories considered as v…

  • The liberal arts … are little better than they were in the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages the liberal arts were entirely verbal. The only two which were not verbal were astronomy and music… Although for hundreds of years we have been talking about mens sana in corpore sano, we really have not paid any serious attention to the problem of training the mind-body, the instrument which has to do with the learning, which has to do with the living. We give children compulsory games, a little drill, and so on, but this really does not amount in any sense to a training of the mind-body. We pour this v…

  • . . . the fact [is] that the spirit of man is not masculine, [but] it belongs to the kingdom of the mother, to the unconscious female side. Man wishes that were not true, and therefore he always tries to make something intellectual and masculine of the spirit. But the spirit in its original form is always female, it comes from the Great Mother. (1997, 518)

  • The man alternately hid and exposed the mirror. At last I said, “Cease this. I will crack your mirror.” I smashed the mirror and placed my right hand in the breast of the man where the mirror had been. The man closed his skin over my hand. I could not free it. I struck at him with my other hand but I could not free myself. Then I said, “Well, I will wait.” I looked at the man again. Suddenly I saw that he was transparent, that the light from the mountain pierced through him. I cried out. “Why, you no longer stand between me and the light. You are transparent.” The man said: “You have freed you…

  • At the Gate of Dark Will, she met with a woman who had returned from the underworld where she was taken by a Hades-like figure. She spoke to her. I said to her—Oh tell me what all this is. Where have you been? made answer—I have been to a place where there is darkness in heaven. The place where man and animal are one. The gate is the gate of Dark Will. There is great suffering. I knelt at her feet. I saw that in the flesh of her feet were delicate veins of gold. I said—Show me the way. She took my hands saying Now you will suffer. Then she took my hands and whirling me around flung me on the g…

  • A strange oppression has been on me in the last two days. It seems to be overwhelming and sad and awe inspiring. It is different from pure depression. It is as though it were breaking of the last shell of consciousness. It is like gazing at something full in the face . . . that I will be eternally alone—looking at these naked things always unprotected . . . veiling them and transforming these things that I see to the needs of each one—while I see them in the raw. I have a feeling that this may be the real awakening consciousness of woman. It makes me feel appallingly alone. (Oct. 14, 1926; 192…

  • He did not encourage her when the powerful dark feminine images emerged during the summer and fall of 1926. Instead, he suggested she have another child, to be a real woman, to be a wife to her husband, and a feeling function to her all-too-intellectual lover (Oct. 25, 1926; Morgan 1926a).

  • In his eyes, it was sufficient for her to marry a “Harvard boy,” thus the wounding by her father who was aware of and cherished Morgan’s exquisite intellect, thirsting for education, but who was motivated to send her to a finishing school for girls—“a subtle foot-binding”—where no rigorous course of study would take place.

  • In my view, one doesn’t “reach wholeness”, as it were, but can have, for example, an ego-shattering archetypal image appear from the unconscious in which wholeness is glimpsed, a union of ego with the Other, the Self (which is the centre of the collective unconscious). This occurrence becomes then an “article of faith”, so to speak, a “mystery” which can sustain the person through great difficulties if necessary. The experiencing for a special moment this “wholeness” can help to make a person “indivisible” (individuated) in the face of extreme hardship.

  • Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar’s gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world. There, in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges, Socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap …

  • A more useful observation comes from the classical music critic Tim Page—the author of a 2006 article in The Washington Post on the occasion of the first Rhino reissue of her records—who notes that her songs were built on top of the bass in a continuo, a distinct feature of Baroque composition. According to the Bach biographer Martin Geck, that style emerged alongside a new understanding of sacred music in which “beauty and harmony no longer serve merely to objectify and enhance a given text; they are now a vehicle for self-representation on the part of the faithful, who raise their voices to …

  • Sill wrote “The Donor,” the final track on Heart Food, in order to “musically induce God into giving us all a break.” She deploys the Kyrie eleison of Christian liturgy—a motif with origins in Greek pagan worship that means “Lord have mercy”—and harmonizes with herself in a multitracked cocoon of echoing vocals. It is haunting in its enclosure of the listener with Judee, whose message becomes distorted even as you hear her delivering it from all directions, accompanied by a piano gracefully doling out its repeated minor progressions. And then suddenly it all fades, capped by a piquant trill of…

  • If You Knew by Ellen Bass What if you knew you’d be the last to touch someone? If you were taking tickets, for example, at the theater, tearing them, giving back the ragged stubs, you might take care to touch that palm, brush your fingertips along the life line’s crease. When a man pulls his wheeled suitcase too slowly through the airport, when the car in front of me doesn’t signal, when the clerk at the pharmacy won’t say Thank you, I don’t remember they’re going to die. A friend told me she’d been with her aunt. They’d just had lunch and the waiter, a young gay man with plum black eyes, joke…

  • At the beginning of our story where Snow White is almost comatose and un-differentiated. It could be said such people are in shock, chaos and in a state of not knowing where to turn and continuing to reside in a life style of aloneness and fear. When there is some degree of differentiation the shadow is threatened. A terror prevails around the prospect of taking what is rightfully their own; freedom to become, freedom to embrace their own opposite.

  • A person has to learn to ‘shut up’ the endless complaints made by the shadow and witness their own rage and discover a way of expressing it harmlessly, that is, to observe their rage 'dance itself out harmlessly' is preferable to becoming their own victim once again. Then a person can decide to stop the previous useless and harmful actions and take charge of their own life, or as in the story, rule their own kingdom.

  • There are many dangers at this stage as the Ego gathers knowledge from the depths of the unconscious. This process continues until a final stage of conflict occurs where the Ego is in serious trouble. The awareness begins to prove intolerable: The choices are stark, either become more comatose or find a way to go more fully into life.

  • will attribute to others all that happens to them and take no responsibility themselves. They are not willing to accept their own dark side. After several incidences brought about by their own destructive behaviour, they are still incapable of looking at the raging ‘other half’ within, but choose to remain tucked away from life.

  • just ‘shut up!’ I have made the connection that the piece of apple caught in Snow White's throat effectively did just that, It ‘shut her up.’ Thus the Ego stopped the shadow-part of herself from creating further havoc. The negative aspect of the feminine has to be silenced before the Prince can arrive.
    Analysis of Snow White And The Seven Dwarves
  • When working with people suffering this internal split, I make great play on the qualities of the shadow’s ability to know, to be cute, to have wisdom, as one of the reasons why it is necessary to accept the shadow. However, it seems Snow White is so innocent even at this stage that an approach of trying to introduce the shadow to her would be almost disastrous. She has to die, and thereby transform and become a woman first.
    Analysis of Snow White And The Seven Dwarves
  • Another pattern common in the fairy story is the notion of hiding or comatose state of the heroine which amounts to a special kind of sleep, and even results (in our case) in the wicked Queen stopping scheming too. The Ego has now a chance to become redeemable, that is, ?return to life' and at the same time claim unity with the masculine (the arrival of the Prince). United in marriage, they return to put the usurper in her proper place.
