One last one from Shadow & Evil…. This is again about how fairy tales contradict each other all the time, and how that ultimately is tied to the nature of the Self, because it transcends duality and seems to be a paradox if you always approach it with the rational mind. Or something to that effect… (p. 224) Actually, I think she is talking about her Jungian analytical techniques with patients, in that regard.
- It is a paradox. The task is to decide each time with your own conscience which is meant this time. And for that one has one’s own dreams. But general rules can only state a paradox, though in the actual individual situation there is no paradox. There is just one line: now I must act against all the rules of analysis; the next moment, I must not get contaminated. In the real situation it is something unique which has to be decided from one minute to another. If you take this attitude, life becomes a constant ethical adventure. That is why we are annoying to people who try to learn from us. We have no rules of behavior. We have no therapeutic rules, absolutely none. One has to keep one’s ears open and listen all the time to know that the innermost order of the Self at this minute is to do this, and the next moment not. But then moving in general commentaries, I shall always contradict myself - with honest conviction!
Amen!
