The Archetypal Artist Quotes

“Soul involves us in the pack and welter of phenomena and the flow of impressions. . . . Soul is vulnerable and suffers; it is passive and remembers. It is water to the spirit’s fire. . . . Soul is imagination, a cavernous treasury. . . . Look up, says spirit, gain distance, there is something beyond and above, and what is above is always, and always superior. . .. Soul replies by saying, “Yes, this too has a place, may find it’s archetypal significance, belongs in a myth.” The cooking vessel of the soul takes in everything, everything can become soul, and by taking into its imagination any and all events, psychic space grows.”
