ABSTRACT
The extermination was completed with logistical and technological sophistication. The depressive position carries feelings of guilt, but it is the one from which the individual is in touch with realities as being an admixture of both the good and the bad. The evolution of the true self is possible if a sense of destiny can be rescued. Shackling experiences of the past can be loosened by the mobilization of the destiny drive, which allows the true self to be sought. Hillman argues for the analyst and analysand to have an awareness of a larger range of narrative possibilities, which includes the tragic and the comic. The political inhumanity of human beings goes with the Faustian myth that everything exists on earth for human beings to make use of as they will. Faustian man fuels his actions by his fantasies of omnipotence. Thinking of the finality of death spurs thoughts on the shortness of life.
