stroking your animus

[urthona2]

you ever have something pop into your thoughts and refuse to go away?

for 2 weeks intermittantly i spelled the word ponderosa repeatedly; it would be running thru my mind and when i would notice i joined in to unwillingly spell it over and over and over so finally i reversed in hopes of finding the cause

anyway when i reversed i heard this reversal:

so I thought I would record and see_R_be stroking your animus

( i no longer spell P O N D E R O S A but todays word is ...)

well jung said you never learn much paddling along the shore so i jumped back in and reversed some more:

animus to be_R_need to summon it

i guess its my subconscious wanting_R_he knows the chakras helps the singer

In the book The Invisible Partners it is said that the key to controlling one's anima/animus is to recognize it when it manifests and exercise our ability to discern the anima/animus from reality.

Jung focused more on the man's anima and wrote less about the woman's animus. Jung believed that every woman has an analogous animus within her psyche, this being a set of unconscious masculine attributes and potentials. He viewed the animus as being more complex than the anima, postulating that women have a host of animus images whereas the male anima consists only of one dominant image.

Jung stated that there are four parallel levels of animus development in a woman.[3]

Man of mere physical power

The animus "first appears as a personification of mere physical power - for instance as an athletic champion or muscle man, such as 'the fictional jungle hero Tarzan'".[4]

Man of action or romance

In the next phase, the animus "possesses initiative and the capacity for planned action...the romantic man - the 19th century British poet Shelley; or the man of action - America's Ernest Hemingway, war hero, hunter, etc."[5]

Man as a professor, clergyman, orator

In the third phase "the animus becomes the word, often appearing as a professor or clergyman...the bearer of the word - Lloyd George, the great political orator".[6]

Man as a helpful guide to understanding herself

"Finally, in his fourth manifestation, the animus is the incarnation of meaning. On this highest level he becomes (like the anima) a mediator of...spiritual profundity".[7] Jung noted that "in mythology, this aspect of the animus appears as Hermes, messenger of the gods; in dreams he is a helpful guide." Like Sophia this is the highest level of mediation between the unconscious and conscious


Jungians warned that "every personification of the unconscious - the shadow, the anima, the animus, and the Self - has both a light and a dark aspect....the anima and animus have dual aspects: They can bring life-giving development and creativeness to the personality, or they can cause petrification and physical death"

The Individuation Process

The individuation process begins with becoming conscious of the Persona, the mask we take on in our every day life. After this we become conscious of the Shadow, the repressed characteristics of the ego. Then we become conscious of the Anima, the inner woman in each man, or the Animus, the inner man in each woman. Then the image of the old wise man, or the old wise mother appears, after which the experience of the Self happens.
These phases are not necessarily chronological in order or separated from each other. They can overlap each other or run parallel.

interestingly most of the terms referred to in this post plus those above plus some not mentioned here appear in the reversals that resulted from talking about the two words that repeated; reversed speech does verify jung's work so far

another time for that tho--still looking around
