Jung Quotes of the Month
The more deeply we penetrate the nature of the
psyche, the more the conviction grows upon us that
the diversity, the multidimensionality of human nature
requires the greatest variety of standpoints and
methods in order to satisfy the variety of psychic
dispositions.
(CW16:11)
Inasmuch as a man is merely collective, he can be
changed by suggestion to the point of becoming-or
seeming to become-different from what he was
before. But inasmuch as he is an individual he can
only become what he is and always was.
(CW16:11)
... where we are in direct contact, so to speak, with
the archetype, its psychic power is felt in full force.
This realm is so entirely one of immediate experience
that is cannot be captured by any formula, but can
only be hinted at as to one who already knows.
(CW9i:194)
Therefore, if some great idea takes hold of us from
outside, we must understand that it takes hold of us
only because something in us responds to it and goes
out to meet it. Richness of mind consists in mental
receptivity, not in the accumulation of
possessions.
(CW9i:215)

* John Betts - Friday, April 15, 2005 7:15 pm.
"Fairy tales are the purest and simplest expression of
collective unconscious and psychic processes.
Therefore their value for the scientific investigation
of the unconscious exceeds that of all other material.
They represent the archetypes in their simplest,
barest, and most concise form. In myths or legends,
or any more elaborate mythological material, we get
at the basic patterns of the human psyche through
an overlay of cultural material. But in fairy tales there
is much less specific conscious material, and
therefore they mirror the basic patterns of the
psyche more clearly."
Marie Louise Von Franz
This lecture deals with the powerful imagery of fairy
tales and examines why their interpretation is such a
crucial aspect of the Jungian tradition. Through fairy
tales we access rich material from the collective
unconscious, telling us how individuation may
happen. Who hasn't remembered the experience of
listening to a fairy tale as a child? Why were we so
enthralled with these tales? Are these stories for
adults or children? How do they differ from myths,
legends, and sagas? The Grimm Brothers' The
Nexie of the Mill-Pond will be interpreted as an
example of two core individuation themes; the anima
problem in the male psyche, and the transmission of
unsolved, unconscious material from parent to child.
John Betts trained as a psychologist, and has worked
in the Victoria community for the past 15 years. He is
presently a Diploma Candidate in the Jungian Analyst
Training Program at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich,
Switzerland. He has his analytical practice in Victoria,
BC. 000000comment []
