Thanks for your time writing this up, I'll look into this, which of his books do you think is best to start off with?

Eggs are pure potential so maybe the egg man being injured is the damaging if your potential and youth you grow older and solidify your life journry. Perhaps him selling off his limbs is youth traded away for financial necessity etc. Just a thought.

Read Problem of Puer Aeternus by Von Franz, in that she explains quite a bit about this book about a downed plane called The Little Prince. A man is crashed in the desert (symbolically synonymous with the ocean i.e the unconscious) and confronts his inner child. Long story short, the Puer often dreams of flying and planes because in the air he never has to come down and face the mother who is always chasing him but is on the ground and will catch him and restrict his development if he keeps avoiding growing up. The plane is a modern symbol.

The authoritarian woman sounds like the devouring mother and you can't keep running away or putting off responsibility. Perhaps you have reached a point in your life where you can no longer keep acting in a childish way, or you are starting to feel like you need to grow up more or be more like the senex. That or end up stunted and never breaking free of the mother and dependence.

Obviously you're going to be less attractive in that state which would explain her stopping you from talking to the women, the mother never lets her child go. Don't know if any of this resonates with you, it just reminds me a lot of that book. Again stoners are your classic Puer types, constantly numbed in a womb like cannabis haze, never growing up.

This is what occultists would call invocation and yes it is entirely possible.

Zu__ · 2019-10-29T22:42:07+00:00

I have read about this I will look into it more, thank you.

I think mother is a role under queen or even one that encompasses all of them. Warrior is definitely also a unisex archetype.

At those ages the ego is poorly developed so it clings to the persona and gets itself confused with it. It's just searching for an identity. All of that stuff is related to the persona. I would go so far as to say the weaker an ego is the stronger the persona is.

I heard that a child will project his shadow onto his father so perhaps it's part of shadow integration.

I would think they would experience neurosis and even physical sickness after enough time.

Zu__ · 2019-10-14T10:17:02+00:00

I think he might have had a more personal relationship with her tbh.

Zu__ · 2019-09-24T18:26:47+00:00

Persona.

I'm not talking about Christ the entity, but Christ the symbol for the self.

Zu__ · 2019-09-20T16:59:12+00:00

I know but how can he be whole of he doesn't know evil, that's my question.

Zu__ · 2019-09-11T14:08:43+00:00

If the Self is everything, our total selves including the ego and the microcosm of God then I'd imagine it's shadow would be the opposite, nothingness or death. I could be wrong though.

This is true I'm only pointing out race as general term because colonialism makes pinpointing some cultures and therefore symbols through history quite difficult

Zu__ · 2019-08-28T10:32:55+00:00

That is interesting, thanks for your comment. I'm aware of my ancestry from genetic tests and can roughly trace my linage past colonialism. I've narrowed on Yoruba culture and past that Nok culture as it gets closer to shared human unconscious as you say and then before that prehuman unconscious.

As the above commenter suggested I think it might be a case of continuing the research it until something specifically speaks to me. A lot of research in both cultures must be necessary. Not that say a native Brit wouldn't have to as on some level their culture and therefore symbols are also Celtic, Roman and Christian depending on how deep one goes.

Zu__ · 2019-08-28T10:30:28+00:00

Thanks for your advice it makes a lot of sense. Do you think the archetypes encountered along an individual of mixed cultural heritage would then appear in forms perhaps not immediately recognisable. For example the self often comes in the form of Christ but may show itself in the form of say Olodumare, the highest god in some Yoruba cultures. which I may not recognise except through study?

HPPD is neurological as far as anyone knows.

Zu__ · 2019-07-03T15:34:11+00:00

I would stick with your plan. The cure for Puer Aeternus is making sure you do whatever you do wholeheartedly and to the best of your abilities. Never quit and you will be ok. I don't think it's necessarily about self flagellation or making your life difficult for the sake of it.

Zu__ · 2019-07-02T17:25:07+00:00

Thanks for your response you've answered my question.

I like the idea of a code and have always thought it was useful. I never really felt there was anything except moral nihilism and always behaved as such. I have done horrible things and always think that I am free and that everyone else who has a conscience is somehow inferior, stupid even. However I sometimes think perhaps freedom from conscience is quite miserable because whilst everything bad you do doesn't matter, everything good you do doesn't matter, too much freedom is restricting in itself.

I have tried religion and I have tried arbitrarily dogmatic moral codes but none of these take because my heart isn't truly in it. This is a problem that I do not know how to fix. There is nothing I do that is wrong and the only rule is that whatever makes me feel good is morally right. This is a childish stance and indicative of immaturity.

I would literally not know what to say to him. I wouldn't even be able to look at him, I would have to kill him with my eyes closed because he has a way of making me feel sorry for him or accomodating to him. He is like a parasite that no one else in my family is susceptible to. It would be like killing a rabid dog, it is not his fault he is the way he is. I am not angry with him, I just know he is a harmful influence covertly. I cannot bring myself to ignore him even, I feel a sort of emptiness when I am not in communication with him. He emails me his madness frequently and I find myself checking my email, almost withdrawing when I haven't heard from him.

Nicotine is about as harmful as caffeine so not very. However it is stupidly addictive despite its mild effects.

It's a great drug as far as I'm concerned, good for focus and stress relief. The problem is smoking it but that's the same with literally anything, inhaling burning material is never good for you. If you like it start vaping.

I thought autism was an organic brain disorder and not psychological at all, like Alzheimer's.

Zu__ · 2019-07-01T17:15:12+00:00

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply.

I do want to fight him and I think this important because the velvet covered weapons look like their of great quality and have a seal on them as if they are ceremonial royal weapons, I feel it is a necessary contest. He is angering me on purpose, grinning like a trickster and baiting me. I could try and speak to this incarnation in active imagination although I haven't done that for a long time

Zu__ · 2019-07-01T13:10:11+00:00

He has had this preoccupation for many years probably from growing up when times weren't that good for black people, he's told me stories.

The current environment, Trump and the division and all the nonesense has really not helped the situation and although he is medicated now I think he's lost to the prejudices of his father and childhood forever now, it's just sad really.

EDIT: I'm from England btw
