quote of the day

"An axiom of depth psychology is that when the gods of mythology are
denied or repressed, they force themselves into awareness
symptomatically. Hillman notes that when the gods are not given their
proper place and recognition they become diseases. There are gods in
symptoms. Symptoms are gods. He says, 'It is mainly through the wounds
in human life that the gods enter . . . because pathology is the most
palpable manner of bearing witness to the powers beyond ego control and
the insufficiency of the ego perspective.'"

Revisioning"
