Happy Birthday,
Carl Jung
Jung in Von Franz’s
Psyche and Matter, p. 85:
“What the formula can only hint at is the higher plane that is reached through the process of transformation…. The change consists in an unfolding of totality into four parts four times, which means nothing less than its becoming conscious.”
Jung’s Model
of the Self:
Four Quartets:
“… history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
Cold Mountain, the film:
Inman: You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place.
Ada: But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments.
Inman: A thousand moments. They’re like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart.
