Mod note: the following 3 posts were merged with this thread from another than Nicholas posted.
Recently on another thread there was a query about what "Firstly, the mind must be known to itself." referred to in session 4.17. Having done a search for Carl Jung on Bring4th, and finding no pre existing thread, I thought I would create one specifically. But also as an attempt to correlate Carl Jungs terminology with Ra's. This is principally relating to the self becoming conscious on the self and aware of the distortions of the self. But there are also other aspects of his work relating to Dreams and desires, and our distortions that can sometimes express themselves through our dreams. Having recently joined a Carl Jung study group on facebook I have enjoyed reading a lot of the posts that I have come across. So as time rolls by I intend to share what I find, whether its paragraphs from his books, or interviews with him or talks about him. But also, to insert a passage from the LOO that I feel fits in with what Carl Jung has offered.
I will bold the part that I find particularly relevant to what I am sharing here. Here is Alan Watts talking about Carl Jung himself.
"Firstly, the mind must be known to itself. This is perhaps the most demanding part of healing work. If the mind knows itself then the most important aspect of healing has occurred, for consciousness is the microcosm of the Law of One." - 4.17
"Having seen and accepted his own nature, profoundly. He had a kind of unity, and absence of conflict in his own nature" - Alan Watts (1.32 minutes)
