What Happens In The Life Of Christ

Filling The Conscious Mind With Ideal Conceptions Is A Characteristic Of Western Theosophy, But Not The Confrontation With The Shadow And The World Of Darkness. One Does Not Become Enlightened By Imagining Figures Of Light, But By Making The Darkness Conscious. The Latter Procedure, However, Is Disagreeable And Therefore Not Popular.

As One Grows Older One Must Try Not To Work Oneself To Death Unnecessarily. At Least That's How It Is With Me... I Can Scarcely Keep Pace And Must Watch Out That The Creative Forces Do Not Chase Me Around The Universe In A Wallop.

The God-image In Man Was Not Destroyed By The Fall But Was Only Damaged And Corrupted (“deformed”), And Can Be Restored Through God's Grace. The Scope Of The Integration Is Suggested By The Descensus Ad Inferos, The Descent Of Christ's Soul To Hell, Its Work Of Redemption Embracing Even The Dead. The Psychological Equivalent Of This Is The Integration Of The Collective Unconscious Which Forms An Essential Part Of The Individuation Process.

I Am No Longer Alone With Myself, And I Can Only Artificially Recall The Scary And Beautiful Feeling Of Solitude. This Is The Shadow Side Of The Fortune Of Love.

Perhaps, I Myself Am The Enemy Who Needs To Be Loved.
