As the archetypal processes work on all levels, I am going to show how simple some of Jung’s ideas can be explained by using simple things. So with apologies to those who already know, let me demonstrate the nature of the Transcendent Function.
Looking at the triangle above:
The base line can stand for the matter in question.
The side lines can represent any opposites: pro/con; conscious/unconscious, etc. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
The apex represents the solution!
It is like the little tab on a zipper, as it pulls the opposite sides together, it acts as a sym-bolos (joining)
This is another proof that the archetypal processes can be found all around us hidden in things! The secret is to look at any physical object (noun) and turn it into a verb by asking it, “What do you do?” (verb). Then listen to what it reveals . . . !
Try this with a pen, or wrapping paper, a cup, or a candle!! This is a great secret! Nothing is hidden, we are blind! “Having eyes, you do not see,” as Christ remarked.

I haven't come across any of your books yet, having surfed into your blog looking for things about that pesky negative animus.
But I am loving what I am reading, and trying to savour your blog posts slowly. Looking forward to reading some of your books.
