A Etimologia tentou separar duas raízes: de um lado a raiz-lua que, com men (lua) e mensis (mes) pertence a raíz ma do sacrifício mas; e de outro, a raiz sânscrita manas, com menos (grego), mens (latim) etc., que representa o espirito por excelência. Da raiz-espírito brota uma ampla ramificação de sentidos espirituais significativos: menos, espirito, coração, alma, coragem, ardor; menoinan, considerar, meditar, desejar; memona, ter em mente, pretender; mainomai pensar e também perder-se em pensamentos e delirar, a qual pertence mania, loucura, possessão e também manteia, profecia. Outros ramos da mesma raiz-espírito são menis, menos, raiva, menuo, indicar, revelar; meno, permanecer, demorar-se, manthano, aprender; menini, lembrar; e mentiri, mentir. Todas essas raízes-espírito originam-se de uma raiz original sânscrita Mati-h, que significa pensamento, intenção. Em nenhum lugar, seja ele qual for, essa raiz foi colocada em oposição a raiz-lua, men, lua; mensis, mes; mas, que e ligado a ma, medir. Dessa raiz origina-se não só matra-m, medida, mas também metis, inteligência, sabedoria; matiesthai, meditar, ter em mente, sonhar; e, mais ainda, para nossa surpresa, verificamos que essa raiz-lua, pretensamente oposta a raiz-espírito, e da mesma maneira derivada da raiz sânscrita mati-h, significando medida, conhecimento. Em conseqüência, a única raiz arquetípica subjacente a esses significados e espírito-lua, que se expressa em todas as suas ramificações diversificadas, revelando-nos assim sua natureza e seu significado primordial. O que emana do espírito-lua e um movimento emocional relacionado de perto com as atividades do inconsciente. Na erupção ativa e um espirito igneo: coragem, cólera, possessão e ira; sua auto-revelação conduz a profecia, cogitação e mentira, mas também a poesia. Junto com essa produtividade ignea, no entanto, coloca-se outra atitude mais “ medida “ que medita, sonha, espera e deseja, hesita e se retarda, que se relaciona com a memória e o aprendizado, e cujo efeito e a moderação, a sabedoria e o significado. Discutindo o assunto em outro lugar, mencionei, como uma atividade primaria do inconsciente, o Einfall, isto e, o pressentimento ou o pensamento que “ estala “ na cabeça. O aparecimento de conteúdos espirituais que penetram na consciência com suficiente forca persuasiva para fascina-la e controla-la, representa provavelmente a primeira forma de emergência do espirito no homem. Enquanto numa consciência ampliada e num ego mais forte esse fator emergente e introjetado e concebido como uma manifestação psíquica interna, no começo parece atingir a psique “ de fora “, como uma revelação sagrada e uma mensagem numinosa dos “ poderes “ ou deuses. O ego, ao experimentar esses conteúdos como vindos de fora, mesmo quando os chama de intuitos ou inspirações, recebe o fenômeno espiritual espontâneo com a atitude característica do ego da consciência matriacal. Porque ainda e verdade, como sempre foi, que as revelações do espírito-lua são recebidas mais facilmente quando a noite anima o inconsciente e provoca a introversão do que a luz brilhante do dia. ↗
Padre Blazon was almost shouting by this time, and I had to hush him. People in the restaurant were staring, and one or two of the ladies of devout appearance were heaving their bosoms indignantly. He swept the room with the wild eyes of a conspirator in a melodrama and dropped his voice to a hiss. Fragments of food, ejected from his mouth by this jet, flew about the table. [p.201] ↗
Need we go into details about what I said to Judy? I am no poet, and I suppose what I said was very much what everybody always says, and although I remember her as speaking golden words, I cannot recall precisely anything she said. If love is to be watched and listened to without embarrassment, it must be transmuted into art, and I don't know how to do that, and it is not what I have come to Zurich to learn. ↗
[...] and I said to myself: Aha. George used to have a way of coping." "When?" I said, confused. "You mean, when I was a kid?" "Have you ever heard," you said, "of the idea of the shadow self?" Sure, I told you. It was one of the Jungian archetypes—one of the symbols of the collective unconscious. That was pretty much all I remembered from college. "Not bad. Do you know what function it plays, in analysis?" you asked. I shook my head. You continued. "The shadow is a frequent figure in dreams. It can appear as a kind of doppelgänger; an evil twin. It embodies our repressed desires. The dark stuff. The shameful stuff. The you-want-to-fuck-your-mother stuff." (48) ↗
There is no religion and no philosophy that can give us a comprehensive answer to the whole of our problems, and the abandonment and isolation of the individual who is given no answer, or only inadequate answers, to his question lead to a situation in which more and more cheap, obvious solutions and answers are sought and provided. As, everywhere and in all departments of life, there are contradictory schools and parties, and an equal number of contradictory answers, one of the most frequent reactions is that modern man ceases to ask questions and takes refuge in a conception that considers only the most obvious, superficial aspects, and becomes skeptical, nihilistic, and egocentric. Or, alternatively, he tries to solve all his problems by plunging headlong into a collective situation and a collective conviction, and seeks to redeem himself in this way. ↗
...in microphysics the observer interferes with the experiment in a way that can't be measured and that therefore can't be eliminated. No natural laws can be formulated, saying "such-and-such will happen in every case." All the microphysicist can say is "such-and-such is, according to statistical probability, likely to happen." This naturally represents a tremendous problem for our classical physical thinking. It requires a consideration, in a scientific experiment, of the mental outlook of the participant-observer: It could this be said that scientists can no longer hope to describe any aspects or qualities of outer objects in a completely independent, "objective" manner. ↗

On the lowest level, this loss of soul turns the man into the hen-pecked husband who lives with his wife as though she were his mother upon whom he is solely dependent in all things having to do with emotions and the inner life. But even the relatively positive case where the woman is the mistress of the inner domain and mother of the home who simultaneously has the responsibility for dealing with all the man's questions and problems having to do with emotions and the inner life, even this leads to a lack of emotional vitality and sterile one-sidedness in the man. He discharges only the "outer" and "rational" affairs of life, profession, politics, etc. Owing to his loss of soul, the world he has shaped becomes a patriarchal world that, in its soullessness, presents an unprecedented danger for humanity. In this context we cannot delve further into the significance of a full development of the archetypal feminine potential for a new, future society. ↗
men should not be sexing their women in the missionary position because they are facing away from the sky. Instead of looking down, men are to look up. To the vastness of Father Sky ↗
While the Eternal Feminine in Faust II still appears in personalized form as the Madonna, she works her effects in The Magic Flute as an invisible spiritual power, as music. But this music is the expression of divine love itself, which unites law and freedom, above and below, in the wisdom of the heart and of love. As harmony, it grants humankind divine peace and rules the world as the highest divinity. From the earliest times, magic and music have stood under the rule of the Archetypal Feminine, which in myth and fairy tale is also the mistress of transformation, intoxication, and enchanting sound. Thus it is quite understandable that it is precisely this feminine principle that bestows the magical instruments. The Orpheus motif of the magical taming of the animal energies through music belongs to her, for as mistress of the animals the Great Goddess rules the world of wild as well as tame creatures. She can transform things and people into animal form, tame the animal, and enchant it because, like music, she is able to make the tame wild and the wild tame with the power of her magic. ↗
