Empfehlung

  • Wünschen Sie sich selbst oder anderen nie etwas Schlechtes, wie man es manchmal tut, wenn man wütend ist, denn für Ihren Geist ist ein Ziel ein Ziel, und ein solch boshafter Wunsch könnte sich als Bumerang erweisen. Andererseits können Ihnen positive Wünsche, etwa indem Sie sich selbst ein wichtiges Ziel setzen, dabei helfen, Ihre Träume zu verwirklichen – denn das Unbewusste schläft nie, nicht einmal während Sie träumen.

Auf der Schwelle zur Individuation und mutigen Integrität

  • Der erste Schritt zur Individualität ist die Ablösung des Einzelwesens von der Ununterschiedenheit und Unbewusstheit der Herde. Es ist die Vereinsamung des reifen Menschen, der nicht mehr von den Werturteilen seiner Umwelt abhängt, sondern in seiner Beziehung zum Selbst fest verankert ist.
    Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Schweizer Psychiater, Psychoanalytiker, Gründer einer Schule der analytischen Tiefenpsychologie, Autor, zitiert in: Claus Riemann (*1951) deutscher Psychologe, Therapeut, Astrologe, Autor, Der tiefe Brunnen.

  • Es gibt sehr viel mehr Menschen, die Angst vor dem Unbewussten haben, als man erwarten würde. Sie haben schon Angst vor dem eigenen Schatten. Kommt man gar zu Anima und Animus, so steigert sie sich zur Panik.
    Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Schweizer Psychiater, Psychoanalytiker, Gründer einer neuen Denkschule der analytischen Tiefenpsy-
    chologie, Autor, Gesammelte Werke, Band 9, Halbband 2: Aion. Beitrage zur Symbolik des Selbst, 1948, überarbeitet 1950, S. 42, Walter Verlag, Sonderausgabe 1995, Patmos, 9. Auflage 11. September 2001

 

  • Das Unbewusste ist das eigentlich reale Psychische, uns nach seiner inneren Natur so unbekannt wie das Reale der Außenwelt und uns durch die Daten des Bewusstseins ebenso unvollständig gegeben wie die Außenwelt durch die Angaben unserer Sinnesorgane.

  • Wenn Märchen, in denen zornige Wünsche erfüllt werden, damit endeten, wären sie lediglich lehrhafte Erzählungen, die uns ermahnen, uns nicht von unseren negativen Emotionen hinreißen zu lassen – etwas, was das Kind nicht vermeiden kann. Das Märchen verfolgt aber nicht die Absicht, vom Kind Unmögliches zu verlangen, und ihm Angst einzujagen wegen zorniger Wünsche, die es nicht abwehren kann. Das Märchen warnt zwar in realistischer Weise, dass man sich Ungelegenheiten zuzieht, wenn man sich von Zorn oder Ungeduld überwältigen lässt; es versichert
    aber zugleich, dass die Folgen nur vorübergehend sind und dass durch guten Willen oder gute Taten aller Schaden,
    der durch böse Wünsche entstanden ist, wiedergutgemacht werden kann.

  • Das Kind im Märchen läßt sich von seiner Verlassenheit nicht zu rachsüchtigen Wünschen verleiten; es wünscht nur Gutes, obwohl es genug Grund hätte, seinen Verfolgern Böses zu wünschen. Schneewittchen rächt sich nicht an der bösen Königin; Aschenputtel sehnt sich nicht danach, dass die Stiefschwestern für ihre Untaten bestraft werden, son-
    dern wünscht ihnen, dass sie zum Ball ins Schloss dürfen.

  • Wenn Kinder im Märchen einen Wunsch äußern, dann nur nach etwas Gutem; der Zufall oder ein guter Geist erfüllt
    ihre Wünsche oft weit über alle Hoffnung hinaus. [...] Es betont [...] die wunderbaren Folgen, die sich für das Kind
    ergeben, wenn es positive Wünsche und Gedanken hegt.

  • Das Märchen gibt symbolisch die Grundzüge der menschlichen Persönlichkeitsentwicklung wieder: Die Persönlich-
    keit des Kindes ist zuerst undifferenziert; dann entwickeln sich das Es, das Ich und das Über-Ich aus dem undiffe-
    renzierten Zustand heraus. Im Reifungsprozess müssen sie integriert werden, wenn auch vieles in die entgegen-
    gesetzte Richtung lockt. Bruno Bettelheim (1903-1990) österreichisch-amerikanischer Psychoanalytiker, Kinderpsychologe,

  • [W]ie so oft im Märchen genügt die dreimalige Wiederholung der gleichen Prüfung – die drei Tage, an denen das
    Reh gejagt wurde – nicht, um den Knoten endgültig zu lösen. Brüderchen hat sich seiner Prüfung, die seine Initia-
    tion
    zu einer höheren Lebensform werden konnte, unterzogen, Schwesterchen aber nicht.

  • In die Dunkelheit der Erde hinabzugehen ist ein Abstieg in die Unterwelt. Der Dummling unternimmt diese Reise ins Erdinnere, während seine Brüder auf der Erdoberfläche umherstreifen. Es ist wohl nicht abwegig, dies so zu deuten, dass der Dummling sein Unbewußtes zu erforschen begann. Diese Möglichkeit zeichnet sich schon ganz am Anfang der Geschichte ab, wo die Klugheit der Brüder der Einfalt und Schweigsamkeit des Dummlings gegenübergestellt
    wird. Das Unbewußte spricht nicht in Worten, sondern in Bildern zu uns, und es ist einfältig im Vergleich zu
    den Errungenschaften des Intellekts.
    Und wie der Dummling gilt es im Verhältnis zum Ich und Über-Ich als niedrig-
    ster Aspekt unserer Persönlichkeit, doch wenn es richtig eingesetzt wird, gewinnen wir aus ihm unsere große Stärke.

  • In dem Märchen »Die drei Federn« geht es nicht so sehr um die Dreiteilung der menschlichen Persönlichkeit als viel-
    mehr um die Notwendigkeit, uns mit dem Unbewußten vertraut zu machen, seine Macht einschätzen zu lernen und
    uns seiner Kräfte zu bedienen. Weil er dies tut, trägt der Held des Märchens »Die drei Federn« den Sieg davon, ob-
    wohl er für dumm gehalten wird. Seine Konkurrenten dagegen, die sich auf ihre Klugheit verlassen und an die Ober-
    fläche der Dinge fixiert bleiben, sind am Ende die Dummen. Aus ihrem Spott auf den »einfältigen« Bruder, der sich
    nicht weit von seinem natürlichen Seinsgrund entfernt hat und sie dann doch übertrifft, lässt sich schließen, dass ein
    von seinen unbewussten Quellen abgeschnittenes Bewusstsein uns in die Irre führt.
    Bruno Bettelheim (1903-1990) österreichisch-amerikanischer Psychoanalytiker, Kinderpsychologe, KZ-Überlebender, umstrittener Forscher und Autor, Kinder brauchen Märchen [1975] Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, DVA, Stuttgart, 1977, Deutscher Taschenbuch

  • Die beiden Brüder, die an der Oberfläche blieben, fanden nur grobe Dinge, obwohl sie angeblich so klug waren; da-
    raus erkennt man die Grenzen eines Intellekts, der sich nicht auf die Kräfte des Unbewussten, des Es wie des Über-
    Ich, gründet und stützt. Bruno Bettelheim (1903-1990) österreichisch-amerikanischer Psychoanalytiker, Kinderpsychologe, KZ-Überlebender, umstrittener Forscher und Autor, Kinder brauchen Märchen [1975] Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, DVA, Stuttgart, 1977, Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag (dtv), Januar 1980, 29.

  • Schließlich lädt das Märchen durchblicken, dadd es nicht genügt, lediglich das gleiche mit Abwandlungen zu wiederholen. Deshalb ist nach drei ähnlichen Prüfungen, bei denen die drei Federn in verschiedenen Richtungen fliegen und damit die Rolle des Zufalls in unserem Leben versinnbildlichen, eine weitere, nicht vom Zufall abhängige Leistung notwendig.

  • Wenn wir das Märchen wie einen Traum oder eine symbolische Geschichte interpretieren, ist es dennoch durchaus
    ein Ganzes und ergibt einen vollständigen Sinn, obwohl es aus einer Gruppe von verschiedenen Elementen zusam-
    mengesetzt wurde. Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) schweizerische Philologin, Jungsche Gelehrte, Autorin, Die Suche nach dem Selbst. Individuation im Märchen S. 16, Kösel, München, 1977, 1. Januar 1985

Passion daemon

  • A creative person has little power over his own life. He is not free. He is captive and driven by his daemon. Perhaps I might say: I need people to a higher degree than others, and at the same time much less.
    Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of analytical depth psychology, author, autobiography Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Fontana Press, 1961, reissued edition 6. March 1995

Szent-Györgyi's description of his creative process is remarkably like that given by French mathematician Jacques Hadamard (1865-1963) in his classic The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field.

  • Scientific creation is in many ways germane to artistic creation [...]. In order to solve a problem, I have to think very hard about a problem but this thinking never leads me anywhere; it is but a necessary priming process. Finding myself unable to solve my problem, I 'drop it', that is, let it sink into my subconscious. How long it stays there varies. Then, unexpectedly, the solution is passed into my conscious mind. My brain must have done as the Hungarian laxative which was advertised: "While you sleep it does the work." Albert Szent-Györgyi (1893-1986) Hungarian physiologist, Nobel Peace Prize laureate in physiology or medicine, 1937, article On Scientific and Artistic Creativity, presented
    by the peer-reviewed academic journal Leonardo published by the MIT Press, volume 6, number 1, S. 57-58, Winter 1973

Projecting one's blemishes and gold

  • The term projection is used by Jungians to mean that each of us places some quality of our own being onto something or someone else. Aspects of reality of which we are unconscious are projected onto the outer world, where we see them in terms of events and people outside of ourselves. This psychological process works like a projector in a movie thea-
    ter: we take something that is within the projector and blow it up onto a screen or backdrop, where we see it more clearly. Since this process is unconscious, we often think it belongs to the outer object when, in fact, it belongs to
    us. It is not only a person's negative qualities that are projected outward in this way; in equal measure we project
    our positive qualities, including our gold. I had projected my gold.
    Robert A. Johnson (1921-2018) US American Jungian analyst, lecturer, author, Jerry M. Ruhl, Ph.D., US American psychologist, author, Balancing Heaven and Earth. A Memoir of Visions, Dreams, and Realizations, HarperOne, 20. January 1998

 

Future outlook / Appeal

  • This is a historic time, a time when the gods in the unconscious are transforming. We are living in a time that the Greeks called the "Kairos" – the right moment – for a "metamorphosis of the gods," that is, a transformation in and of the collective unconscious itself. The peculiarity of our time, which is certainly not of our conscious choosing, is that the timeless unconscious within us is transforming itself in unprecedented, dramatic ways. […]
    As a species we are experiencing an undeniable uprising of the dark, destructive forces of the collective unconscious. As thinking, reflective, conscious human beings, we can no longer deny the dark stirrings of the unconscious as it plays itself out ever more conspicuously on the world stage. These overwhelming psychic forces are active powers that can-
    not be fitted into our rational world order, explained away by our reason, nor argued out of existence. If we are not in denial, it is obvious that the powers of the underworld, as if they have a severe "control process," are attempting to centralize power and global control over our entire species in a way that is devoid of any pretense of democratic legi-
    timacy, compassion, or redeeming charm whatsoever.
    We are being confronted with the naked darkness of the soul, and asked, make that demanded, to come to terms with and face up to this darkness. The dark side of our nature, or we could even say the shadow of God, is revealing Itself and incarnating through the unconscious of humanity. In these apocalyptic times we live in, the dark God, the "deus absconditus" – which is an essential element of the psychological self – is incarnating. This hidden God is parado-
    xically
    present in its apparent absence.
    Something is being revealed to us in the process. The times in which we are living are truly initiatory. Paul Levy (*1956) US American psycho-activating healer, artist, author, Dispelling Wetiko. Breaking the Curse of Evil, North Atlantic Books, 15. January 2013

 

  • The unconscious is the only available source of religious experience. This is certainly not to say that what we call the unconscious is identical with God or is set up in his place. It is simply the medium from which religious experi-
    ence seems to flow. As to what the further cause of such experience might be, the answer to this lies beyond the range of human knowledge. Knowledge of God is a transcendental problem.

  • Empirical psychology loved, until recently, to explain the "unconscious" as mere absence of consciousness – the
    term itself indicates as much – just as shadow is an absence of light. Today accurate observation of unconscious processes has recognized, with all other ages before us, that the unconscious possesses a creative autonomy
    such as a mere shadow could never be endowed with.

  • In the unconscious is everything that has been rejected by consciousness, and the more Christian one's consciousness is, the more heathenishly does the unconscious behave, if in the rejected heathenism there are values which are important for life.

  • Anyone who penetrates into the unconscious with purely biological assumptions will become stuck in the instinctual sphere and be unable to advance beyond it, for he will be pulled back again and again into physical existence.

  • A man who is unconscious of himself acts in a blind, instinctive way, and is, in addition, fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbour.

  • 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.

  • Any attempt to determine the nature of the unconscious state runs up against the same difficulties as atomic physics: the very act of observation alters the object observed. Consequently, there is at present no way of objectively determining the real nature of the unconscious.

  • [If the unconscious is] […] properly dealt with in one place only, it is influenced as a whole, i.e., simultaneously and everywhere.
    Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of analytical depth psychology, author, Letters, Vol. 2. 1951-1961, S. 595, Princeton University Press, 1. April 1976

 

 

  • If the activation is due to the collapse of the individual's hopes and expectations, there is a danger that the collec-
    tive unconscious
    may take the place of reality. This state would be pathological. If, on the other hand, the activation is the result of psychological processes in the unconscious of the people, the individual may feel threatened or at any rate disoriented, but the resultant state is not pathological, at least so far as the individual is concerned. Neverthe-
    less, the mental state of the people as a whole might well be compared to a psychosis. […]
    Whenever contents of the collective unconscious become activated, they have a disturbing effect on the conscious mind, and contusion ensues. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of depth psychology, author, Michael Fordham, editor, The Structure of the Psyche (1913-1935), included in: The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche – Collected Works of C.G.

  • The collective unconscious – so far as we can say anything about it at all – appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious.
    We can see this clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic form were organised through the projection of images […]. These influences are unconscious introspective perceptions of the activity of the collective unconscious. We can therefore study the collective unconscious in two ways, either in mythology or
    in the analysis of the individual. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of analytical depth psychology, author, Michael Fordham, editor, The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche – Collected Works of C.G.

  • Greater than all physical dangers are the tremendous effects of delusional ideas […]. The world powers that rule
    over humanity, for good or ill, are unconscious psychic factors, and it is they that bring unconsciousness into
    being […]. We are steeped in a world that was created by our own psyche.

  • One cannot resist it. It gets you below the belt and not in your mind, your brain just counts for nothing, your sympa-
    thetic system is gripped. It is a power that fascinates peo-
    ple from within, it is the collective unconscious which is activated, it is an archetype which is common to them all that has come to life. And because it is an archetype, it has historical aspects and we cannot understand the events without knowing history.
    Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of analytical depth psychology, author, The Symbolic Life. Miscellaneous Writings – Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 18, S. 164, Princeton University Press,

  • The conscious mind allows itself to be trained like a parrot, but the unconscious does not – which is why St. Augus-
    tine
    thanked God for not making him responsible for his dreams. The unconscious is an autonomous psychic entity; any efforts to drill it are only apparently successful, and moreover harmful to consciousness. It is and remains be-
    yond the reach of subjective arbitrary control, a realm where nature and her secrets can be neither improved upon nor perverted, where we can listen but may not meddle. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of analytical depth psychology, author, R. F. C. Hull, translator, Psychology and Alchemy – Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 12, 1944, S. 51, Routledge, London, 2nd edition 1968

 

  • We know that the mask of the unconscious is not rigid – it reflects the face we turn towards it. Hostility lends it a threatening aspect, friendliness softens its features. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst,
    founder of a new school of analytical depth psychology, author, R. F. C. Hull, translator, Psychology and Alchemy – Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 12, S. 29, 1944, Routledge, London, 2nd edition 1968

 

  • The unconscious is not a demoniacal monster, but a natural entity which, as far as moral sense, aesthetic taste, and intellectual judgment go, is completely neutral. It only becomes dangerous when our conscious attitude to it is hope-
    lessly wrong. To the degree that we repress it, its danger increases. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of analytical depth psychology, author, The Practical Use of Dream Analysis – Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 16, 1934, S. 329, Bollingen Foundation, Pantheon Books, New York, New York, 1954

 

  • If you observe a content which then disappears for a short time into the unconscious, it is not altered when it comes
    up again, but if you forget something for a long time, it does not return in the same form; it autonomously evolves or regresses in the other sphere, and therefore one can speak of unconscious as being a sphere, or entity in itself.
    Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) Swiss Jungian psychologist, scholar, author, The Psychological Meaning of Redemption Motifs in Fairytales, Inner City Books, 1st edition 1. January 1985

 

  • It is a fact that if an impulse from one or the other sphere comes up and is not lived out, then it goes back down and tends to develop anti-human qualities. What should have been a human impulse becomes a tiger-like impulse.
    For instance, a man has a feeling impulse to say something positive to someone and he blocks it off through some inhibition. He might then dream that he had a spontaneous feeling impulse on the level of a child and his conscious purpose had smashed it. The human is still there, but as a hurt child. Should he do that habitually for five years, he would no longer dream of a child who had been hurt but of a zoo full of raging wild animals in a cage.
    An impulse which is driven back loads up with energy and becomes inhuman. This fact, according to Dr. Jung, de-
    monstrates the independent existence of unconscious. […]
    We always tend to keep within ourselves threshold reactions such as a little doubt, or a little impulse not to do some-
    thing. If the impulses are not very strong we are inclined to put them aside in a one-sided way and by this we have
    hurt an animal or a spirit within us. Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) Swiss Jungian psychologist, scholar, author, The Psychological Meaning of Redemption Motifs in Fairytales, Inner City Books, 1st edition 1. January 1985

 

 

  • [T]he mystery of the structure of the universe, was in themselves, in their own bodies and in that part of the personality which we call the unconscious, but they would say in the life of their own material existence. [...] They thought that in-
    stead of taking outer materials you could just as well look inside and get information directly from that mystery because you were it. After all, you too were a part of the mystery of cosmic existence, so you could just as well watch it directly.
    Even further, you could ask matter, the mystery of which you consist, to tell you what it is, to reveal itself to you. Instead of treating it like a dead object to be thrown into a vessel and then cooked in order to see what came out, you could just as well take a block of iron, for instance, and ask it what it was, what its kind of life was, what it was doing, how it felt when melted. But since all these materials are within you, you can also contact them directly and in that way they con-
    tacted what we would now call the collective unconscious, which to them was also projected into the inner aspect of their own bodies.
    They consulted these powers directly through what they called meditation and therefore most of these introverted alchemists always stressed the fact that one should not only experiment outwardly but should always insert phases
    of introversion with prayer and meditation and a kind of yoga. With yoga meditation you try to get the right hypothesis, or information, about what you are doing or about the materials. Or you can, for instance, talk to quicksilver, or to iron, and if you talk to quicksilver and iron then naturally the unconscious fills up the gap by a personification. Then Mercury appears to you and tells you who the sun God is. A power, the soul of Gold, appears and tells you who and what it is.

  • Whenever a person turns sincerely to his unconscious psyche and its knowledge (not, however, when he dwells on subjective thoughts and feelings) by considering its objective expressions, such as dreams and spontaneous fanta-
    sies, sooner or later the image of the Self will appear and confer upon the ego the potential for a renewal of its life.

Scapegoat mechanism

  • The scapegoat mechanism is probably the single most universal and successful inner dynamic on this earth. It cannot work, of course, unless you are totally unconscious. Unfortunately, a high percentage of people are unconscious, and spend much of their life in denial, avoidance, reaction formation or projection. We are largely unwilling to bear the dark/impure side of anything. We would rather pretend to be "light-bearers", and as this passage reveals, end up like Lucifer. Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, cited in: deleted article Cheap Religion is Worse Than
    No Religion

Freud did not discover the unconscious.

  • One of the virtually reactionary myths of the twentieth century is that Sigmund Freud is the "discoverer of the unconscious." The legend of Freud not only falsifies historical truth but also burdens the history of enlightenment with an absurd and inexplicable asymmetry and retardation in the investigation of the unconscious. How could enlightenment have in-
    vestigated consciousness critically and empirically without encountering its "other side"? […] Enlightenment depth psychology was born in 1784, […] when the Marquis of Puységur discovered so-called magnetic sleep, which came to be called hypnosis in the nineteenth century. [...]
    Hypnosis […] had a grave disadvantage, for which reason, later enlightenment tried to repress this more than a century old "episode": After the procedure, the patients had forgotten everything they had experienced. Through the "posthyp-
    notic amnesia," as it was later called, they were at the mercy of the magnetizer, who could profit from their excursions into the unconscious. Still in a trance, they had to submit themselves to the healing commands of the magnetizer, who transposed the knowledge he had gained in the session about the patient's problematic into hypnotic instructions. These were supposed to remain effective in the unconscious for the patient's own good. Understandably, later enligh-
    tenment did not want to be involved with such procedures based entirely on authority and trust. After all, psychologi-
    cally speaking, enlightenment always meant an advance in the training of mistrust – in the construction of an ego concerned about self-assertion and control of reality. Freud's methodology can be summarized, in a way, as the attempt to keep the path to the unconscious open without using hypnosis. One may consider whether, in Freud's procedure, a finesse born of mistrust is not at work.

  • Research has shown that in the first few milliseconds of our perceiving something we do not only unconsciously comprehend what it is, but decide whether we like it or not; the cognitive unconscious presents our awareness with not just the identity of what we see, but an opinion about it. Our emotions have a mind of their own, one which can hold views quite independently of our rational mind.
    Daniel Goleman (*1946) US American psychologist, science journalist, author, Emotional Intelligence. Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, Bantam, 1st edition 2. June 1997

 

  • The scientific discourse misses the fact that the ability to deny is an amazing human phenomenon, a product of sheer complexity of our emotional, linguistic, moral and intel-
    lectual lives. Denial is a complex unconscious defense mechanism for coping with guilt, anxiety and other disturbing emotions aroused by reality.

Ayn Rand refers only to men's written history of scarcity within patriarchy that comprises merely 5% of human metahistory.

  • Man is free to choose not to be conscious, but not free to escape the penalty of unconsciousness: destruction. Man is the only living species that has the power to act as his own destroyer – and that is the way he has acted through most of his history.

Quotes by David R. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

  • One must remember that love and peace are the greatest threats to the 'ego' which defends itself by resorting to entrenched positionalities that lie hidden in the unconscious. These non-loving attitudes have arisen from the still pre-
    sent biologic, survival-oriented animal brain which surfaces in childhood where parental and societal pressures force them to go underground by the well-known psychological ego mechanisms of repression, denial, suppression, reaction formation, projection, and rationalization.
    Dr. David R. Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, chapter 19, S. 325, 2003

Archetypal judgement mechanism

  • In Egyptian mythology, the soul goes to Hades [Duat], where the Lord of the Underworld (Osiris) sits in judgment and weighs the sinner's heart on the scales, whose destiny then hangs in the balance. To understand this depiction (which operates quite mightily in the human psyche) we first note that it is referring to the 'underworld'. This is the judge in the
    unconscious mind that is self-judging and hands out sentences of guilt, suffering, and self-hatred. This myth is an
    accurate depiction of the dark side of the unconscious.
    Dr. David R. Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, ~S. 331, 2003

 

  • Wickedness knows that within the unconscious of everyone is the unsuspecting innocence of the child.
    Deleted interview with Dr. David R. Hawkins, Healing and Recovery, presented by the US American health magazine "Unified Health!", Matt Laughlin, volume 5, issue 14, pg. 21, winter 2009

"Zuerst kommt das Unbewusste." Barghs Hauptthese lautet: Der Geist [unbewusste Hirnprozesse] existiert gleichzeitig in Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft, wobei diese teilweise im Verborgenen liegen, in einer Art multidimensionaler Zeitschleife. Der unbewusste Erfahrungs-
schatz ist die Summe dieser drei Aspekte. In dem Kapitel "Die verborgene Gegenwart" findet man nützliche Antworten auf die Frage, wann man seinem Bauchgefühl trauen kann.
Interessanterweise scheinen gerade jene, die unbewusste Faktoren am stärksten leugnen, am anfälligsten zu sein für Manipulation.


Literature (engl.)

Foreword: "My search to understand evil and its transformation is what attracted me to Paul Levy’s invaluable work. […] In helping us understand and face the lies that weave through our lives, Paul Levy’s work leads us to our extraordinary opportunity. […] It is a rare philosopher and spiritual leader who can help us to look into the mirror of our collective participation and denial. Yet, Paul Levy accomplishes this and more. He helps us find
a way to explore the most intimate connections between our spiritual and material lives and the wider psychic storm and power lines in which we struggle. He makes a way through our madness, our "spiritual starvation," to invoke our imagination to literally "change our mind." […] As you read Dispelling Wetiko, you will be challenged. You will savor moments of "ah ha." When you have finished, you will find that something has shifted. There are fewer spiritual calluses between your imagination and your daily life. You will see a way forward that you had not seen before. You will feel less isolated, more hopeful. You will never quite look at the world in exactly the same way again."  Foreword by Catherine Austin Fitts (*1950) US American former assistant secretary of housing under George H.W. Bush, managing a 300 billion dollar portfolio, whistleblower on financial terrorism, president of the Solari Report
