Reading a book called The Gnostic Jung.
Jung reached back to the Gnostics and the Alchemists. The neo-Jungians of different stripes reach back the gods and goddesses of ancient mythology. The men's movement reaches back to folk tales. Thomas Moore reaches back to the magicians of the Renaissance. For decades the West has been digging about in the ancient wisdom of the East. The whole New Age movement reaches back eclectically to just about any shiny object from the past that looks interesting. All an effort to "reanimate" the lifeless mechanical image of Modernism - to give it a soul (anima).
