He writes down the dialogue that occurs, with one part for the serpent, and one for himself. He interacts with the figure in as real a way as possible, as if it were a real figure present with him. </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CGJung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CGJung</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AnalyticalPsychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnalyticalPsychology</span></a> <a href="https://schelling.pt/@RedBookJung/111469658191987642" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">schelling.pt/@RedBookJung/1114</span><span class="invisible">69658191987642</span></a></p>

Animystic 🪐<p>Through the practice of <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ActiveImagination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ActiveImagination</span></a>, &quot;the image created by the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Unconscious" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Unconscious</span></a> and the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Ego" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ego</span></a> interact, and in this interaction, they create the necessary tension to evoke the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Transcendent" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Transcendent</span></a> function.

The transcendent function is the means by which these opposites become united, the process by which the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/manifest" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>manifest</span></a> self is brought into being.&quot;</p><p>–Jeffrey Raff, Jung and the Alchemical Imagination</p>
