Are We Possessed?
Far from a thing of the past or an ignorant superstition, demonic possession and evil spells, in our technologically developed society, are an increasing danger. C. G. Jung has given us modern terms for these very real states, uriging us to make exorcizing ourselves "the most vital task of civilization."
God the Imagination
When the alchemists had a living experience of God through their relationship with the imaginatively created philosophers' stone, they realized that the whole experience was nothing other than an experience of the divine imagination, which is to say that they were realizing that they themselves were living inspirations of the divine, creative imagination itself.
The Light of Darkness
The root meaning of the word consciousness, etymologically speaking, is "knowing together or seeing with an other." The process of becoming conscious requires both seeing and being seen, knowing and being known. The birth of consciousness itself involves being both subject and object of the process at the same time.
