The mysterious nature of time

[zenmaster]

As one individuates, it's possible to have relationships that are not wholly based on an expectation of such lower ego-satisfying demands (the personal unconscious has been integrated sufficiently to move one into 'green').

You really think so? Sounds ego-satisfying to me. Where does the projection stop and the circle flatten out into a line?

Is your ego somehow satisfied by the idea? Individuation is an ongoing process, there is no stop because any misunderstanding must first find a form in projection. Something gets extended away from the dark, into a more desirable light in some form suitable for processing. What we do when presented with the reflection of the unconscious changes or transforms as supporting contents are integrated and more readily recognized. More of 'you' is eventually available to meet it.

The circle was never a circle, it was a spiral upwards - that's the dynamic. Psychologically, the circle is feminine - so may be something worth investigating given its attention.

Statically, or symbolically, the circle and the line are the same thing - like yin and yang.
