The psyche does not come to an end where some
physiological assumption or other stops. In other
words, in each individual case that we observe
scientifically, we have to consider the manifestations
of the psyche in their totality.
Carl Jung, Collected Works, v9, para 11

That is one of the great difficulties in experiencing
the unconscious—that one identifies with it and
becomes a fool. You must not identify with the
unconscious; you must keep outside, detached,
and observe objectively what happens….
it is exceedingly difficult to accept such a thing,
because we are so imbued with the fact that our
unconscious is our own – my unconscious, his
unconscious, her unconscious – and our
prejudice is so strong that we have the greatest
trouble disidentifying.

Notes of the Seminar given in 1922 by C. G. Jung.

Thought diffusion is the power of diffusing to others
certain thought forms and positive ideas. These
currents of thought circulate around various mental
chambers of the human Mind. Whenever they contact
a sensitive sphere possessing magnetic affinity, they
gradually impress their force and ultimately subject
the Soul to those ideas. In this way, by subtle mental
magic of its devotees, religious theology obtained its
first foothold within the human Mind.

The light in the darkness glows,
Throughout the midnight hour.
Everything has a story to unfold,
Shimmering quietly upon the gentle light.
A voice cries out, remembering that each new breath
Brings life, joy and dreams undreamt.

The Old Masters acquiring and retaining new knowledge,
without judgements. Absorbing and talking over new
and old ideas; which will help us to understand both
sides of a situation objectively.

There are always multiple avenues to take, if we look.

Many beautiful dreams are nothing more than memories of the Soul connecting once again with the Angelic World…...
