"Memories, Dreams, Reflections," by Carl Jung "There was an enormous difference between my mother's two personalities. That was why as a child I often had anxiety dreams about her. By day she was a loving mother, but at night she seemed uncanny. Then she was like one of those seers who is at the same time a strange animal, like a priestess in a bear's cave. Archaic and ruthless; ruthless as truth and nature. At such moments she was the embodiment of what I have called the 'natural mind.'[3]" [3]"The 'natural mind' is the 'mind which says absolutely straight and ruthless things.' (Seminar on Interpretation of Visions [Zurich, privately printed, 1940], V, p. iv.) 'That is the sort of mind which springs from natural sources, and not from opinions taken from books; it wells up from the earth like a natural spring, and brings with it the peculiar wisdom of nature.' (Ibid, VI, p. 34.)" -pg. 50 in this copy -personal notes: return to the entryway, and see log 08 May 2025
