Status Updates From Symbols of Transformation (...

[342] Now I in some degree understand why I instantly feel for his works and even his personality. Wow.
Wow, arrogant supercilious and condescending bastard, sociopath hidden under, hahaha

[341] "who throws Christianity overboard and with it the whole basis of morality, is bound to be confronted with the age-old problem of brutality. We have had bitter experience of what happens when a whole nation finds the moral mask too stupid to keep up. The beast breaks loose, and a frenzy of demoralization sweeps over the civilized world."
...According to ancient Rome.

[341] "@ a time when a large part of mankind is beginning to discard Christianity, it may be worth our while to try to understand why it was accepted in the first place. It was accepted as a means of escape from the brutality & unconsciousness of the ancient world. ASA we discard it, the old brutality returns in force, as has been made overwhelmingly clear by contemporary events. It's a step backwards 2 past."

[337] "...archetypes are the forms or river-beds along which the current of psychic life has always flowed. It is not possible to discuss the problem of symbol-formation without reference to the instinctual processes, because it is from them that the symbol derives its motive power. Hence, a discussion of one of the strongest instincts, sexuality, is unavoidable, since most of symbols r analogies of this instinct."

[337] "The instincts operate most smoothly when there is no consciousness to conflict with them, or when what consciousness there is remains firmly attached to instinct. This condition no longer applies even to primitive man, for everywhere we find psychic systems at work which are in some measure opposed to pure instinctuality."

[336] "Even intelligent people no longer understand the value and purpose of symbolical truth, and the spokesmen of religion have failed to deliver an apologetic suited to the spirit of the age. "

[336] "It is as necessary today as it ever was to lead the libido away from the cult of rationalism and realism—not, indeed, because these things have gained the upper hand (quite the contrary), but because the guardians and custodians of symbolical truth, namely the religions, have been robbed of their efficacy by science. "

I hate notes, I mean backing-up my notes totally manually.

[335] "It seems that this process was especially necessary at the time when Christianity originated; for that age, as a result of the appalling contrast between slavery and the freedom of the citizens and masters, had entirely lost consciousness of the unity of mankind."

[335] "Thus man, as a spiritual being, becomes a child again and is born into a circle of brothers and sisters: but his mother has become the “communion of saints,” the Church (pl. XXXa), and his brothers and sisters are humanity, with whom he is united anew in the common heritage of symbolical truth."

[335] "The empirical truth never frees a man from his bondage to the senses; it only shows him that he was always so and cannot be otherwise. The symbolical truth, on the other hand, which puts water in place of the mother and spirit or fire in place of the father, frees the libido from the channel of the incest tendency, offers it a new gradient, and canalizes it into a spiritual form."

[332] "The power which “always desires evil” thus creates spiritual life."

[332] "Moreover it must be pointed out that the basis of the “incestuous” desire is not cohabitation, but, as every sun myth shows, the strange idea of becoming a child again, of returning to the parental shelter, and of entering into the mother in order to be reborn through her. But the way to this goal lies through incest, i.e., re-entering the mother’s body... canalizing libido, preventing it from really doing so"

[324] " The various meanings of the tree—sun, tree of Paradise, mother, phallus—are explained by the fact that it is a libido-symbol and not an allegory of this or that concrete object. it does not mean itself but is always a symbol of the libido.Symbols are not signs or allegories for something known; they seek rather to express something that is little known or completely unknown."

[324] "One of the main reasons for this is that, just as the female lies hidden in the male (pl. XXIX), so the male lies hidden in the female. The feminine quality of the tree that represents the goddess (cf. pl. XXXI) is contaminated with phallic symbolism, as is evident from the genealogical tree that grows out of Adam’s body."

[324] "Not only the gods, but the goddesses, too, are libido-symbols, when regarded from the point of view of their dynamism. The libido expresses itself in images of sun, light, fire, sex, fertility, and growth. In this way the goddesses, as we have seen, come to possess phallic symbols, even though the latter are essentially masculine."

[321] "Another equally common mother-symbol is the wood of life (ξύλον ζωή), or tree of life."

[319] "ere embarks on the “night sea journey.” Those black waters of death are the water of life, for death with its cold embrace is the maternal womb, just as the sea devours the sun but brings it forth again...The projection of the mother-imago upon water endows the latter with a number of numinous or magical qualities peculiar to the mother."

[315] "Babylon(the Great Whore of) is the symbol of the Terrible Mother, who leads the peoples into whoredom with her devilish temptations and makes them drunk with her wine (cf. fig. 22). Here the intoxicating drink is closely associated with fornication, for it too is a libido symbol, as we have already seen in the soma-fire-sun parallel."

[313] "The symbol-creating process substitutes for the mother the city, the well, the cave, the Church, etc. (Cf. pls. XXIIa, XXXa.) This substitution is due to the fact that the regression of libido reactivates the ways and habits of childhood, and above all the relation to the mother; but what was natural and useful to the child is a psychic danger for the adult, and this is expressed by the symbol of incest."

[312] "it is the longing to attain rebirth through a return to the womb, and to become immortal like the sun. This longing for the mother is amply expressed in the literature of the Bible."

[311] "We now understand why the Indian fire-bringer Matarisvan is called “he who swells in the mother.” The ark, chest, casket, barrel, ship, etc. is an analogy of the womb, like the sea into which the sun sinks for rebirth. That which swells in the mother can also signify her conquest and death. Fire-making is a pre-eminently conscious act and therefore “kills” the dark state of union with the mother."

[303] “The city is a maternal symbol, a woman who harbours the inhabitants in herself like children. It is therefore understandable that the three mother-goddesses, Rhea, Cybele, and Diana, all wear the mural crown...In the same way the seizure of a country by the king was regarded as his marriage w/ the land. Similar ideas must also have existed in Europe. Princes at their accession had to guarantee a good harvest”

[299] "the longing of the unconscious, of its unquenched and unquenchable desire for the light of consciousness. But consciousness, continually in danger of being led astray by its own light and of becoming a rootless will o’ the wisp, longs for the healing power of nature, for the deep wells of being and for unconscious communion with life in all its countless forms."

[299] "The heroes are usually wanderers,and wandering is a symbol of longing, of the restless urge which never finds its object, of nostalgia for the lost mother...the heroes are like the wandering sun, from which it is concluded that the myth of the hero is a solar myth."

[296] "Welling up from the depths of the unconscious, its springs gush forth from the root of the whole human race, since the individual is, biologically speaking, only a twig broken off from the mother and transplanted."

[296] "The sun comparison tells us over and over again that the dynamic of the gods is psychic energy. This is our immortality, the link through which man feels inextinguishably one with the continuity of all life.The life of the psyche is the life of mankind."

[296] "just as man consists of a mortal and an immortal part, so the sun is a pair of brothers, one of whom is mortal, the other immortal.Man is mortal, yet there are exceptions who are immortal, or there is something immortal in us. Thus the gods, or figures like Khidr and the Comte de Saint-Germain, are our immortal part which continues intangibly to exist."

[290] Sea journey of sun, and "the fish is therefore a symbol of renewal and rebirth."

[289] The hero and the one he consecrates, Ok...So Celebrimbor and Talion belong to such type of duo. They either become legendary ruling immortality together or one perishes after the other in the same way - but either way their unspeakably influential heritage remains, part of the sea journey of sun.
So again, the ending of SoW is not making sense, monolith.
