Crawling out of the unconscious sea of fish images, Jung finds his figurative legs with his psychological understanding of Gnosticism, less of a heretical dismantle of early Christian beliefs but rather an archetype to those familiar biblical stories. Evolving further along the aeon, his modern psychology takes on many of the curious uncertainties of quantum physics that he acknowledges came from Pauli and von Franz.

Fascinating facts about fish, mostly legends but someone at various points in history discovered the mysterious qualities of jellyfish or Echeneis and had to figure out how they fit into the natural philosophy of one’s day. Jung, as ever, looks to the alchemical angle, how substance mixed with substance in an attempt to unite the mind and matter. There is even an admission that modern psychology produces fool’s gold.

Really leaning into the Christ as fish metaphor, Jung looks beyond Christian imagery to other cultures around the Mediterranean Sea for their take on a primordial Self emerging from the sea. Leviathan becomes a dragon, one of two that will either bring ruin, feed the devout multitude or simply disappear. Jung today would probably have both the Jesus and the Darwin fish ornaments on the back of his hybrid-powered car.

Having just submitted my the official first draft of my thesis to my advisors, I have a couple weeks of me-time to discover who is self my ethnographic research was trying to uncover. Fortunately I had Jung to guide me on this two thousand-year quest, pointing out that the birth of Jesus (not a lil’ baby born on Christmas Day, Boney M.) was actually a Pisces like me while that other fish emerged with the Renaissance.

An elaboration on two of the most prominent archetypes Jung empirically encountered, the shadow and the syzygy, get their own brief chapters. But first is his description of the ego, which is not necessarily an archetype but more like how someone experiences these two primal instincts as part of the journey to discovering one’s self. Pre-woken attitudes towards gender appear as Jung tells of anima’s greatest victory.
