Personality Junkie. Jung and the Imago Dei. "... Jung thinks of the self as undergoing continual transformation during the course of a lifetime.... At the end of his late work Aion, Jung presents a diagram to illustrate the dynamic movements of the self.... " "The formula presents a symbol of the self, for the self is not just a stable quantity or constant form, but is also a dynamic process.
In the same way, the ancients saw the imago Dei in man not as a mere imprint, as a sort of lifeless, stereotyped impression, but as an active force.... The four transformations represent a process of restoration or rejuvenation taking place, as it were, inside the self.... " "The formula reproduces exactly the essential features of the symbolic process of transformation. "Although 'wholeness' seems at first sight to be nothing but an abstract idea (like anima and animus), it is nevertheless empirical in so far as it is anticipated by the psyche in the form of spontaneous or autonomous symbols.

What's it like to be you? I often feel I am missing something, that I have a perspective or viewpoint that isn't widely shared and that I am decades ahead of my time, maybe more.
It's like being caught in a time warp. I tend to be someone who looks at all the what-ifs, thinking way ahead with a vision of things and anticipating. I'm always interested in extending myself into areas I don't do well in. I'm a good problem solver from that perspective. I am naturally organized, structured, and analytical. I won't do something if I feel I can't do it well. Autonomy is important, to be respected for my own thoughts and feelings, ideas and creativity. Over time I have built a world-view, like constructing a map of the cosmos, and from this, essentially everything is understandable and anything is possible. Table of Contents.
