Reflections of the Machine

“To paint what we see before us is a different art from painting what we see within…  For what he paints are active fantasies – that which is active within him. And that which is active within is himself, but no longer in the guise of his previous error, when he mistook the personal ego for the self; it is himself in a new and hitherto alien sense, for his ego now appears as the object of that which works within him.”

Jung, a liberator of humans, occupied a unique role, at once a psychiatrist, sadhu, shaman, and an elucidator for the trapped and enlightened self.
