A note on Self-Manifestation as Properly Conceived
18 Dec 2023
I use this term ‘self-manifestation’ hesitantly, because it has been colonised and deprived of the meaning imbued in it by C.G. Jung. It’s worth explaining the true meaning of the term: Jung conceived of the Self as the totality of an individual across time and space, not merely the soul as repr...
