"where there is gross injury, the soul flees ... what a soul
needs? .. nature and creativity, Diana ... represents the ability to
hunt, track and recover various aspects of the psyche... teaching
about the lone woman's life ... for some women air, night, sunlight
and trees are necessities, For others, words, paper and books ... or
colour form, shadow and clay ... One can take so much pride in being
a survivor that it becomes a hazard to further creative
development. .. Thriving means to put ourselves into occasions of the
lush, the nutritive, the light, and there to flourish, to thrive with
bushy, shaggy, heavy blossoms and leaves. It is better to name
ourselves names that challenge us to grow as free creatures. That is
thriving. That is what was meant for us ... "
Pinkola Estes, C 1992, WWRWtW Random House NY pg 209 - 211

"consciousness is , in effect, the key to a life examined, for better and for worse, ourbeginner's permit into knowing ll about the hunger, the thirst, the sex, the tears, the laughter, the kicks, the punches, the flow of images we call thought, the feelings, the words, the stories, the beliefs, the music and the poetry, the happiness and the ecstasy. At its simplest and most basic level, consciousness lets us recognise an irresistible urge to stay alive and develop a concern for the self. At its most complex and elaborate level, consciousness helps us develop a concern for other selves and improve the art of life."

Archetypes
"Jung traced the use of the term archetype to Philo Judaeus, who used the term with reference to the Imago Dei (God-image) in man, and to several other classical sources, noting that archetypal contents are transmitted through tribal lore, myth, fairy tales, and esoteric teaching (Jung, Archetypes 4). Archetypal contents are also found in dreams; Jung believed that the existence of typical mythologems in dream contents indicated that myth-forming structural elements must be present in the unconscious psyche and common to all people."
