Message: [QUOTE="Metroid_Hybrid, post: 568505, member: 40440"] I have over 1/3 of his "Collected Works" in (the old 2nd edition) hardcover. Too many people get his theories [I][U]very[/U][/I] wrong. I think it's mostly due to misinterpretations based on secondary sources (Telephone game BS). Although Jordan Peterson's [I]Magnum Opus:[/I] "Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief," and the [U]older[/U] ([B]pre-[/B]2020) lectures that are based on it, do Jung justice.. Volume 9, part 1: "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious," and to a lesser extent; part 2: "Aion," covers the basics of the Anima/Animus archetype(s). It's extremely nuanced & complicated, but you can think of it as the 'dots' in the "Yin/Yang" symbol/Mandala. (The subject of Mandalas takes up a sizable chunk of the final section of Vol. 9, part 1). Although, fair warning, all of Jung's works (and Peterson's MoM:TAoB) are some seriously [B][I][U]DENSE[/U][/I][/B] reading material.. Fun Fact: What Jung referred to as "Anima possession" (at least on the [U]extreme[/U] end) is almost word-for-word what they would call "transgenderism" these days (he even mentions these type of guys wanting to chop their own dick off)..
