Some thoughts about the psychology of Carl jung /part 2/
Anima - embodies the female nature in the Self. It is conservative and preserves the most ancient of mankind. The shadow - to meet, is to meet our shadow, the kingdom of Sympaticus. Animus - the male's beginning in the woman. Anima creates mood, and Animus is the opinion. These are opinions in which one does not doubt and does not consider them.Animus is a multitude - a collection of fathers and authorities who pronounce irrefutable, "reasonable" judgments. The mother - her own mother, grandmother, stepmother, mother-in-law and every woman with whom there is a relationship.
The archetype is often associated with things and places that are known. fertility and fertility, hollow objects such as stoves and cookware. The qualities associated with this archetype are: the maternal care and sympathy, the magical authority of the woman. In the negative - everything secret, hidden, dark, hell, the world of the dead, everything that absorbs, seduces and poison, which is terrifying and inevitable as a fate. Collectively unconscious archetypes or proforms appear at different times in the consciousness of man, regardless of his will. Human psyche is not a clean board.3.Recognition of libido, its incarnations and symbols.
Jung does not agree with Freud - he believes that libido is not personal and purely sexual. He believes that an extension of the notion of libido as a general non-sexual energy basis of psychic life is necessary. It is now a "common life instinct, a unified will for existence, which seeks, by preserving the individual, to ensure the further breeding of the whole family". Libido has two phases - polar and sex. Libido experiences progression and regression. Progression is an upward movement of libido, whereby adaptation to external living conditions is accomplished, and regression is a state of stagnation of libido that helps to "adapt to the conditions of one's own inner life."
