Through a wealth of descriptive passages and reproductions of artistic works ranging from Paleolithic stone carvings to the sculptures of Epstein and Moore, Neumann shows how the feminine has been represented: as goddess, monster, gate, pillar, tree, moon, sun, vessel, and every animal from snake to bird. In studying this array of both static and transformative images, Neumann discerns a universal experience of the Maternal as a dual source of life support and fear: an experience rooted in the dialectical relation of growing consciousness, symbolized by the child, to the unconscious and the unknown, symbolized by The Great Mother.
Review "Neumann's creative intuition has enabled him to read in these records of the past a content and meaning that throws a beam of light on the psychological history of [hu]mankind.
About the Author Erich Neumann, born in , was a student of C. Jung and practiced analytical psychology in Tel Aviv from to his death in He is known through his many publications for advancing a philosophical approach to analysis and for formulating a coherent theory of feminine development.
Such an understanding is one of the central needs of analytical psychology. For, in both a theoretical and a practical sense, it is very hard for those who have not experienced the reality of the archetype by undergoing analysis to understand what depth psychology means by an archetype… Our exposition does not deal with the archetype in general, but with a specific archetype, namely, that of the Feminine or… the Great Mother… The investigation of the special character of the feminine psyche is one of the most necessary and important tasks of depth psychology in its preoccupation with the creative health and development of the individual… The experience of the archetypal world leads to an inner form of humanization that… will perhaps one day prove more reliable than the form of humanism known to us up to now, which is not grounded in depth psychology.
When therefore we say that the matriarchal world precedes the patriarchal world, we are not referring to a sequence of sociological structures, such as that set up by Bachofen [Mother Right].
Thus the transformative character of the Feminine rises from the natural to the spiritual plane. The culture-bringing primordial mysteries culminate in a spiritual reality that completes the mystery character of the Feminine. At the beginning stands the primeval goddess, knowing nothing but the secret of her womb; at the end is Tara, in her left hand the opening lotus blossom of psychic flowering, her right hand held out toward the world in a gesture of giving.
This archetypal psychical world which is encompassed in the multiple forms of the Great Goddess is the underlying power that even today… determine the psychic history of modern man and of modern woman. Posting Komentar.
