I would encounter inside myself a degree of life so primal…

[abyssata]

the obscure self, the pure subjectivity which is incapable of realizing itself in mind, conscience, or reason, in the soul, the heart, the imagination, or the life of the senses, and which makes for itself attributes and conditions out of all these forms of its own life.

In order to integrate our unconscious, we must, therefore, create our own bridge. Fundamentally, what this bridge does, is opening the wall which separates the unconscious from the conscious world, […]; where there used to be closed circles, there are now open circles, whereby interaction becomes possible. This is the essence of the individuation process.
