Dear Carita,
Kafka, like for instance Erich Neumann as well (who died at 55) lived very creative and in many ways very full lives, while it certainly seems that the lives of many people who live to see old age, seem rather empty. But I am curious…"

    Erel, shalom. I wanted to offer my congratulations on your cool book. I've yet to finish it, as I prefer to savor the books I appreciate by reading the titles that "reach" me in lieu of a front-to-back read in a week's time.

    Gilda Frantz's "Dreams and Sudden Death" is my favorite piece so far. A bit of synchronicity accompanied the reading.

    Good form, thank you, and stay safe!

    Hi I am currently working on my Ph.D in analytical psychology on the subject of imagination. Can you share some of your ideas in your paper on images or post it to discuss. Thanks Laner

    Wonderful, Erel! The site was only launched a few days ago and I'm thrilled to see how its growing so quickly. I feel there has been a deep need for a central place where those who love the field--and the field itself!--can converge.
    That post you mentioned on post-modernity was written by a colleague of mine, John Bowie, who has a brilliant mind. I think your paper on the topic must be very timely as well.

    He Erel. Welcome to the online Depth Psych community! It wonderful to have your participation. I am familiar with your work a bit because I have been eyeing Self-in-Exile conference through Assisi. I was wondering if you would be willing to have a feed from your blog directly onto Dept Psychology Alliance. If so, I can post it right away. Also, feel free to post any events you might have. Thanks much, and again, welcome!

The Sun and the Sword,
The Moon and the Mirror

article by Erel Shalit

Besides the more commonly accounted for masculine, solar aspect of the hero’s journey, we may refer to a feminine, lunar attribute as well. They represent different attitudes vis-à-vis the unconscious.

The sun-hero has a dual relationship to the Great Mother, as exemplified by Heracles; his name means Glory of Hera, yet the goddess drives him to madness. He…
