An extraordinary passage from #Jungian #JamesHillman on salt and our #wounds and the soul's need for our wounds for its sustenance - quite literally a game-changing perspective on our wounds and why we keep returning to them again and again...

Destiny is our mythical sense of life. We get the feeling about our life that something is meant, something is wanted, something is living alongside my life nudging, urging, sometimes grabbing the wheel and setting another course.

Our life is psychological, and the purpose of life is to make psyche of it, to find connections between life and soul.

#JamesHillman has taught us that the struggle of ideas is a sacred struggle.

#Sartre said, "He who begins with facts will never arrive at essences." It's that. It's getting to the essence of the issues. The facts don't take us to the essences. We gather the facts. We have fact-finding commissions after every event. But do we imagine?

The important thing isn't staying related to your partner or being related to all the things we use the word ' #relationship' for & which drive the child-man into a frenzy of anxiety, but being related to the calling, to whatever that strange thing it is that wounds him & names him.

Problems sustain us —maybe that's why they don't go away. What would a life be without them? Completely tranquilized and loveless. There is a secret love hiding in each problem.

Open your heart, your gaze, to the visitations of angels, even if the gifts they bring may not be centeredness and balance but eccentricity and a wholly unfamiliar sense of pleasure called joy.

“Note how political tyranny lives on a gullible populace and how a gullible populace falls for tyranny. Innocence seems to ask for evil.”

You know, people come to #therapy really for a blessing. Not so much to fix what's broken, but to get what's broken blessed.

The god comes in through the wound.

Anytime you’re gonna grow, you’re gonna lose something. You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity. That’s a big one, when you begin to move into the unfamiliar.

From the souls viewpoint, there is little difference between patient and therapist. Both words and their roots. Refer to an attentive devotion, waiting on and waiting for. #Depthpsychology

el ciclo mismo a través del cual gira cualquier cosa, incluidos nosotros mismos, es un proceso psicológico: las fantasías del alma son la base y la semilla en todo lo que pensamos y hacemos, queremos y tememos” - James Hillman, “Psicología alquímica” 🧵4/4 #Alquimia #Psicología #JamesHillman
Love the concept of “fragmentary autonomous systems” here from James Hillman and Jung.
Sounds compatible with agentic patterns à la @drmichaellevin.bsky.social

TIL about Hillman’s concept of polytheistic psychology and I’m so here for it.

“From the traditional psychology (of Neoplato-nism), ego-consciousness does not deserve the name of consciousness at all.”
