Sample text
The effort to get along on one's own, leading a simple, dull existence and thinking only of oneself, may be Page 44 merely the reflex of a soul tormented from within and hoping to find relief in external success. The problem is precisely that inner torment, and the response to the patient's suffering can come only through a discourse consistent with his psychological complexity. The response must thus arise from his own soul. In the mythologies of all times and places, the hero is called upon to perform exploits according to a specific archetypal pattern, and we must always ask ourselves what, in our present reality, are the heroic tasks demanded by our particular psychological situation if we are to proceed along the path of development.
This is a kind of sensitivity that develops with practice and needs continually to be sharpened, but it also requires a natural gift for seizing on those nonverbal communications that occur in any psychological relationship. This last is simply a question of power: if in patriarchal society masculine values predominate, in the matriarchal kind it is the feminine values that hold sway. But if this split takes on excessive proportions and there is no longer any relation between the ego and the unconscious, it is possible at a certain point for the repressed aspects to take over and remove all power from the ego.
Indeed, it is possible that the biting exchanged by sexual partners in moments of greater abandon may even express an attempt to incorporate and know the other, and thus to overcome the fear of difference.
