Carl JungWritten by Robert Bruce Baird
Continued from page 1
Northrop Frye addresses this growth that Jung studied in this brief excerpt. “Jung believes, however, that ordinary medical analogies of diagnosis, treatment, and cure are not adequate for psychologist. The physical body nearly always matures in about twenty years, but in most people psyche remains largely undeveloped throughout life, though it possesses within it a force of growth toward ‘individuation’ which is its peculiar maturity {I posit Jung understood ‘PURPOSE’ in same way Viktor E. Frankl did in what became Logotherapy. Jung understood that ‘individuation’ is aligned with all forces and powers making each of us more whole when we know ‘one’-ness.}. This growing force within psyche is what Jung, in contrast to Freud, means by libido, {Freud was an ego conflicted individual who never understood sexual drive to achieve ‘one’-ness.} and, being a biological force, it behaves teleologically, just as an acorn behaves as though intended to become an oak tree. {With many other acorns.} When a psychologist tries to help a neurotic, he is helping release power of growth, and he ought to realize that any ‘cure’ is only one stage in process he has started going.” (2)

Continued from page 1 To make things better, you quickly laugh it off and come up with a quick conclusion regarding your major event. You wind up in most cheerful way and say bye, giving no absolute signs of your feelings. The moment you hang up, tears roll down your cheeks, almost not believing what she just said/meant. All of a sudden, you feel isolated. You feel there is no one you can really trust or no shoulders to lean on. After whole traffic jam, you finally reach destination place. No more tears, you tell yourself, you don't want anyone to pound you with questions. So you greet your mate with broadest, yet fakest smile and you move on, with those words still bouncing back to you every other time during day. The same day that you were hoping to be beautiful is all a chaos...just because of words!!!
