Chasing love.

  • This whole creation is essentially subjective, and the dream is the theater where the dreamer is at once scene, actor, prompter, stage manager, author, audience, and critic.
    • General Aspects of Dream Psychology (1928)
  • Emotion is the chief source of all becoming-conscious. There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion.
    • Psychological Aspects of the Mother Archetype (1938)

There seems to be a whole lot of love and a whole lot of war in mythology. And a whole lot of complexities between the two.  And "Aphrodite is even more delightful when she is with Dionysus, and their gifts are sweeter if mixed together." (Calasso, 82) Innuendo and betrayal, love and deceit, and the same story countless ways with countless meanings and it really is the precedent as it rings so true still today. These are the archetypes.
