Status Updates From Symbols of Transformation (...

[180] "Thus the creative dwarfs toil away in secret; the phallus, also working in darkness, begets a living being; and the key unlocks the mysterious forbidden door behind which some wonderful thing awaits discovery."
Uhmm, what exactly am I reading? So dwarves in Tolkien universe can be viewed as a libido image of secret creative power which unlock both wonder and doom, like libido does. Wow....

[180] It reminds me of a Chinese ancient erotic fiction, the Monk of Lampwick, in which depicts an explicit erotic adventure of a tiny monk as a creative force, the symbol of phallus.

[176] "The sun is not only beneficial, but also destructive [...] It shines equally on the just and the unjust, and allows useful creatures to flourish as well as the harmful.[...] the creative power of our own soul, which we call libido, and whose nature it is to bring forth the useful and the harmful, the good and the bad."

Dual nature of divine figures contains the Fatherly Heaven Creator thing such as sun which is only the rational image of it, and its devilish aspect.

[171] "Even if a longing for the highest is legitimate in itself, the sinful presumption and inevitable corruption lie in the very fact that it goes beyond the fixed human boundaries. The longing of the moth is not made pure by reaching for the stars, nor does it cease to be a moth on account of such noble aspirations. Man continues to be man."

[170] "As a power which transcends consciousness the libido is by nature daemonic: it is both God and devil. If evil were to be utterly destroyed, everything daemonic, including God himself, would suffer a grievous loss; it would be like performing an amputation on the body of the Deity."

[170] "the good and rational Power which rules the world with wise laws is threatened by the chaotic, primitive force of passion. Therefore passion must be exterminated, which means, in mythological projection, that the race of Cain and the whole sinful world must be wiped out, root and branch, by the Flood. That is the inevitable result of a passion that sweeps away all barriers."
But no, see next one.

[165] "anyone who refuses to experience life must stifle his desire to live—in other words, he must commit partial suicide. This explains the death-fantasies that usually accompany the renunciation of desire."

[165] " All passion is a challenge to fate, and what it does cannot be undone. (simple saying here: And fate is full of danger and incalculability) [...]The perpetual hesitation of the neurotic to launch out into life is readily explained by his desire to stand aside so as not to get involved in the dangerous struggle for existence."

[165] "The beneficent as well as the destroying power was worshipped in the fire. The forces of nature are always two-faced, as is plainly the case with the God of Job. [...] it is the power which beautifies everything, but, in a different set of circumstances, is quite as likely to destroy everything."

[165] "The ancient civilizations of the Near East were familiar with a sun-worship dominated by the idea of the dying and resurgent god - Osiris, Tammuz, Attis-Adonis, Christ, Mithras, and the phoenix."

[154] Anyway, it's all about SUN. "it is not a question of a specifically racial heredity, but of a universally human characteristic. Nor is it a question of inherited ideas, but of a functional disposition to produce the same, or very similar, ideas - the archetype."

[149] "But the striving for unity is opposed by a possibly even stronger tendency to create multiplicity, so that even in strictly monotheistic religions like Christianity the polytheistic tendency cannot be suppressed."

[149] "These attempts to reunite the basic archetypes after polytheism had multiplied them into countless variants and personified them as separate gods prove that such analogies must forcibly have obtruded themselves at a fairly early date. Herodotus is full of references of this kind, not to mention the various systems known to the Greco-Roman world."

The libido symbols of divine figures/images varies, Comparison by analogy: as sun and fire; Causative Comparisons: (a) with objects.the health-giving sun. (b) with the subject. by its instrument or by something analogous to it, e.g., the phallus or its analogue, the snake; the functional comparison, activities, i.e. bulls, ass, boar.
And as psyche is in man, anthropomorphic form exists, and names varies as well.

[134] "When man becomes God, his importance and power are enormously increased.20 That seems to have been its main purpose: to strengthen the individual against his all-too-human weakness and insecurity in personal life. "

[130] "But it is rather a question of the energy which belongs to the archetype, to the unconscious, and which is therefore not his to dispose of. This “game with oneself” is anything but ridiculous; on the contrary, it is extremely important. To carry a god around in yourself means a great deal; it is a guarantee of happiness, of power, and even of omnipotence, in so far as these are attributes of divinity."

[129] "psychic energy or libido creates the God-image by making use of archetypal patterns, and that man in consequence worships the psychic force active within him as something divine."

[128] " God is the name for a complex of ideas grouped round a powerful feeling; the feeling-tone is what really gives the complex its characteristic efficacy, [...] if one worships God, sun, or fire (cf. fig. 4), one is worshipping intensity and power, in other words the phenomenon of psychic energy as such, the libido."

[126] "The quality of the desire is important because it endows its object with the moral and aesthetic qualities of goodness and beauty, and thus influences our relations with our fellow men and the world in a decisive way. Nature is beautiful because I love it, and good is everything that my feeling regards as good. Values are chiefly created by the quality of one’s subjective reactions."

[119] "That civilization was foredoomed, because humanity itself revolted against it. We know that, even before the spread of Christianity, mankind was seized by wild, eschatological hopes of redemption. This mood may well be reflected in Virgil’s eclogue:"

[117-119] Moth to Fire:1. Passion burns wings 2. Ephemeral vs Eternal - Longing Otherworldness - i.e. Fraust "His mistake was that he made the worst of both worlds by blindly following the urge of his libido, like a man overcome by strong and violent passions." - the Collective conflict, though in him takes opposite course.

[113] " Symbols are not allegories and not signs: they are images of contents which for the most part transcend consciousness. We have still to discover that such contents are real, that they are agents with which it is not only possible but absolutely necessary for us to come to terms."

[113] "Modern rationalism is a process of sham enlightenment and even prides itself morally on its iconoclastic tendencies. Most people are satisfied with the not very intelligent view that the whole purpose of dogma is to state a flat impossibility.[...]And what “I” do not know simply does not exist. Therefore, for this enlightened stupidity, there is no non-conscious psyche."
