“Only when we have found the sense in apparent nonsense Can we separate THE VALUABLE from the worthless”
Carl Jung said this when discussing his concept of the ‘anima’ and how we can be too concrete or ‘scientific’ focused in the west, and sometimes in the east there is a danger to get lost in creativity and fantasy images. Jung said we need to strike a balance and not be one-sided in adopting either approach.
Jung described the ‘anima’ as the feminine part of soul in a man… his personal representation of ‘Eros’ (relatedness) which was in his unconscious. He also described the ‘anima’ as a demon. It’s a very personal thing that needs to be made conscious, otherwise we can be driven and lost in ‘passions’, obsessions or … our inner ‘demons’ perceived as a positive thing.
