Could any of the members of this Group expand upon Dr. Jung's references to our "Primal Form," "Solar Nature," and Stellar Nature"?
Dr. Jung refers to our "Primal Nature" in relating a near death experience he had in Memories, Dreams, and Reflections.

Dr. Jung makes reference to a human's "Solar Nature" and "Stellar Nature" periodically throughout his Collected Works. Here are several such references which may be found in The Red Book.
But our ruler is the spirit of this time, which rules and leads in us all. It is the general spirit in which we think and act today. He is of frightful power, since he has brought immeasurable good to this world and fascinated men with unbelievable pleasure. He is bejewelled with the most beautiful heroic virtue,
and wants to drive men up to the brightest solar heights, in everlasting ascent. ~Carl Jung, Red Book, Page 246.
You sleep down through the thousand solar years, and you wake up
through the thousand solar years, and your dreams full of ancient lore adorn
the walls of your bedchamber.
You also see yourself in the totality.~Carl Jung, Red Book, Page 270.
I recall my solar nature and would like to rush to my rising. ~Carl Jung, Red Book, Page 277.
The solar barge is a common motif in ancient Egypt. The barge was seen as the typical means of movement of the sun. In Egyptian mythology, the Sun God struggled against the monster Aphophis, who attempted to swallow the solar barge as it traveled across the heavens each day. ~Carl Jung, Red Book, Footnote 128, Page 284.
But he said, "You will go to men as one veiled. Your light shines at night. Your solar nature departs from you and your stellar nature begins."~Carl Jung, Red Book, Page 355.
Therefore I had to remain true to love, and, devoted to it voluntarily, I suffer the dismembering and thus attain bonding with the great mother, that is, the stellar nature, liberation from bondage to men and things.~Carl Jung, Red Book, Page 356.
Only thus does the light of the star grow, only thus do I arrive at my stellar nature, at my truest and innermost self that simply and singly is. ~Carl Jung, Red Book, Page 356
Any insights which may be offered in furthering the understanding of these psychic realities will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
