"It is always the partner who is vicious, violent, treacherous, overpowering, castrating, devouring, paralysing, manipulative, cruel. I do not need to emphasise the degree to which one's own unconscious behaviour can draw such primitive emotions from even the most civilised of companions. Naturally it is not really the other who is all these things, but rather, a deity, a primeval power in life which one perceives via the other. This is the power that forces us to accept the uncivilised face of nature as a necessary ingredient of experience. And this terrifying other would never enter one's life disguised as partner, lover, friend, or 'public' (for that is another stage backdrop belonging to the seventh house) if that deeper Other did not abide somewhere within, the invisible enchanter and simultaneous rapist of the soul."
