Reading Resonance –

here I suggest the passages that resonate with the themes that emerge during the creative process:

 

 

“The union of any two things produces a third thing which is neither of them.

/…/

One must constantly keep in mind the bivalence of every symbol. Insistence upon either one or other of the contradictory attributions inherent in a symbol is simply a mark of spiritual incapacity; and it is constantly happening, because of prejudice. /…/

 It is the simplest test of initiation that every symbol is understood instinctively to contain this contradictory meaning in itself. /…/ all the symbols are interchangeable, for each one containeth in itself its own opposite.”

 

 

(The Book of Thoth: A Short Essay on the Tarot of the Egyptians Aleister Crowley and Charles Matthius)

“The unconscious is fair with us.

But the one thing that our unconscious will not tolerate is evasion of responsibility.

The unconscious pushes us into one suffering after another, one impossible mess after another, until we are finally willing to wake up, see that it is we who are choosing these impossible paths, and take responsibility for our own decisions.”

(Inner Work: A Four-Step Journey to Self-Transformation, Unearthing Subconscious Strengths, and Interpreting Dreams with Jungian Psychology. Robert A. Johnson )
