June 19, 2011; HAPPY PAPA'S DAY! :D

Sunday. Woke up early for church, got ready. Got brownies for Father's day. Kuya Jordan dropped me home. Went online. Bought Brisk at the liquor store across the street. Got dropped off at Laurie's. Took a nap. Got picked up by Linds. Went to Super A to get a cake for Luis. Went to his house. Chilled with all of them people, too lazy to name. Hah, just waiting for Luis to get home. I was so tired/sleepy. Played Dance Central, pretty funny. Luis finally came and surprised him! Ate chips/pizza/cake. People started eating the "Da Bomb" ghost pepper sauce. Oh my, funny stuff. We all had some. Chili shots! ;D Filip took me home. My tummy hurts now. Deuce? Hah

Day 170 (061911) Helen. (Part 2 of the ANIMA series)

————————————————-

Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung first proposed the theory of archetypes. Like his mentor, Sigmund Freud, Jung believed that all people possess an unconscious mind containing personal forgotten and repressed contents which Jung called complexes.

Jung called this deeper layer the collective unconscious, and its contents he called archetypes.

The anima (as one of these so called archetypes) personifies all the feminine psychological tendencies within the man, such as prophetic hunches, intuitions, moods, receptivity, capacity for personal love, a feeling for nature, and his relation to the unconscious.

Jung distinguished four broad stages of the anima in the course of a man’s psychological development. He personified these, according to classical stages of eroticism, as Eve, Helen, Mary and Sophia.

In the second stage, personified in the historical figure of Helen of Troy, the anima is a collective sexual image. ("All is dross that is not Helen"-Marlowe). The man under her spell is often a Don Juan who engages in repeated sexual adventures. These will invariably be short-lived, for two reasons:
