ABSTRACT

Psychology can be construed from the standpoint of the anima, but it can also be construed from the standpoint of the animus, and also from the standpoint of the syzygy itself. Psychology must not constantly defer into the future, load onto the shoulders of its analysands as their task, and carry before itself as its preached message what is first and foremost its own job. Psychology is the study of the self-thinking, self-unfolding, and self-realizing logic of real life; it is the study. Separation and synthesis obviously represent logical relations or operations, however, as logical operations, not operations performed by us, by the subjective mind, but by the soul itself, or rather not even performed by the soul, but operations as which the soul exists. The idea of the soul’s logical life thus operates with the idea of the objective psyche, with non-ego processes.
