Clarice Lispector, from Selected Cronicas

[thedireful]

One thing I do know: love, however violent, is pure. And that is how I have come to discover that I am not pure.

i hold vigil for the soft percussions of a vanishing dial. at what invisible margin do i exist? at what seam do i envelop myself?

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.

C.G. Jung, from The Red Book: Liber Novus

[thedireful]

Jung argued that he was happy to finally return to the lost world of his soul. Jung argued that one must live according to one’s own way, and Jung’s own way had now guided him to his soul. According to Jung, he had always been judging his soul and had turned his soul into a ‘scientific object’, which made sense when living in accordance with the spirit of the times, which sees the soul as an object under the control of the individual. The spirit of the depths, however, forced Jung to see his soul as a self-existing entity, with which he had lost connection.

I prefer life, yes, to the very God who created it. Since this is the life he gave me, this is the life I’ll live.

Today, suddenly, I reached an absurd but unerring conclusion. In a moment of enlightenment, I realized that I'm nobody, absolutely nobody.

The circle, universally recognized as a symbol of the infinite and perfection, finds its expression in Vesica Piscis. With no vertex, no beginning, and no end, the circle embodies limitless potential and divine essence. The Vesica Piscis, formed by two intersecting circles, takes this symbolism further with its sacred geometry, portraying unity, creation, and the convergence of celestial forces.

Abraxas had a much wider significance. We can imagine the name to be that of a divinity on whom the symbolical task was imposed of uniting the divine and the diabolical.
