• A Word for AntiChristmas:

  Apocatastasis

  “… T. S. Eliot tried to recompose,
     in Four Quartets, the fragments
     he had grieved over
      in The Waste Land.”

  – “Beauty and Desecration,”
     Roger Scruton
   (link at aldaily.com today)

  “The formula reproduces exactly the essential features of the symbolic process of transformation. It shows the rotation of the mandala, the antithetical play of complementary (or compensatory) processes, then the apocatastasis, i.e., the restoration of an original state of wholeness….” – Carl G. Jung in Aion
