Carl Jung 1875 - 1961

Archetypes


Carl Jung founded the field of analytical psychology and, along with Sigmund

Freud, was responsible for popularizing the idea that a person’s interior life merited not just attention but dedicated exploration — a

notion that has since propelled tens of millions of people into psychotherapy. Freud, who started as Jung’s mentor and later became his rival, generally viewed the unconscious mind as a warehouse for repressed desires, which could then

be codified and pathologised and treated. Jung, over time, came to see the psyche as an inherently more spiritual and fluid place, an ocean that could be fished for enlightenment and healing.

Jung’s ideas laid the foundation for the widely used Myers-Briggs personality test and influenced the creation of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Archetypes


The term "archetype" has its origins in ancient Greek. The root words

are archein, which means "original or old"; and typos, which

means "pattern, model or type". The combined meaning is an "original pattern" of which all other similar persons, objects, or concepts are derived, copied, modelled, or emulated.

The Shadow The Anima (female) The Animus (male) The Self

We may see the shadow in others and, if we dare, know it in ourselves. Mostly, however, we deny it in ourselves and project it onto others.

Archetypes



The anima/animus represents our true self, as opposed to the masks we wear every day and is the source of our creativity.

Archetypes



The self is an archetype that represents the unification of the unconsciousness and consciousness of an individual. The creation of the self occurs through a process known as individuation, in which the various aspects of personality are integrated. Jung often represented the self as a circle, square or mandala.

In conversations with the Muse I mix paint with vision, collage with story, word with meditation and prayer. And out of the mixture comes a release of energy and healing and a lightening of the load of everyday living. You'll find most of it here, where I've been showing up for the past few years, along with collectible paintings, travel sketchbooks, figure studies and an invitation to join me in art play and discovery!

Every once in a while I have a whopper dream. You know the kind. It feels more real than waking life, except when you try to relate it to someone else in your waking state, and then it kind of falls apart. I had two such dreams last week and felt compelled to express them through art. Susan Cornelis
