According to Carl Jung, life is a journey on water: we live mostly above the waterline, in the sunshine, air and scenery of the conscious mind. Below the waterline is a wordless universe where we feel weightless and time stands still. Its truly a different world down there. And there be monsters in the deep. In Jungian depth psychology, our relationship to the unconscious mind is identical to our relationship to water: we need it by the cupful to survive, but if we stay under too long well drown, (a psychotic break.) But brief plunges into the world of the unconscious are refreshing: paintings and music, poetry and dance, sculpture and theater and all the other symbolic arts are like frolics in the sea on a hot summer day. ~Roy H.
