Ego, the Self, the Unconscious, and the Birth of Consciousness

Quote p. 19, Edward F. Edinger, Mysterium Coniunctionis

“On the one hand, the efforts of the ego create the coniunctio but, on the other, fate decides, and the ego is a victim of a decision made ‘over [its] head or in defiance of [its] heart,’ as Jung puts it.”

Quote p. 19 & 20, Edward F. Edinger, Mysterium Coniunctionis

“Then it was that I first knew my son /
And we two came together as one.
…………………………
Therefore my son was also my father /
…………………………..[and]
I bore the mother who gave me birth.”
