The feminine principle within a man

Inspiration fra "We" af Robert A. Johnson:

Baubo

'The feminine principle within a man is above all a principle of relatedness: She personifies a man's capacity to relate to his own inner self, to the interior realm of his own psyche and to the unconscious. When a man drinks of the love potion, it is anima, his soul that he sees superimposed on a woman.

"The projection can only be dissolved when the son sees that in the realm of his psyche there is an imago....of the daughter, the sister, the beloved, the heavenly goddess, and chthonic Baudo. Every mother and every beloved is forced to become the carrier and embodiment of this omnipresent and ageless image, which corresponds to the deepest reality in a man. It belongs to him, this perilous image of Woman; she stands for the loyalty which in the interests of life he must sometimes forgo; she is the much needed compensation for the risks, struggle, sacrifices, that all end in disappointment; she is the solace for all the bitterness of life. And, at the same time she is the great illusionist, the seductress, who draws him into life with her Maya - and not only into life's reasonable and useful aspects, but into its frightful paradoxes and ambivalences where good and evil, succes and ruin, hope and despair, counterbalance each other. Because she is his greatest danger she demands from a man his greatest, and if he has it in him she will receive it.
This image i "My Lady Soul"
(Jung, Aion, par. 24)
