How are we affected as we find ourselves in the midst of the pandemic, as our work takes place mostly on line and the world moves us along at a bewildering pace? Let us, in this talk, consider these lines from C.G. Jung’s autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections:
A creative person has little power over his own life. He is not free. He is captive and driven by his Daimon.
“Shamefully
A power wrests away the heart from us,
For the Heavenly Ones each demand sacrifice:
But if it should be withheld
Never has that led to good,”
says Holderlin’
