This wonderful Point 2, which I haven't
gotten to in weeks: ¶616 of
_Answer to Job_;  and one of the big
things in _Answer to Job_ is in fact that the
Feminine is coming in, and Jung is
talking about the Pope's Papal Bull of
1950, in which he allowed the Virgin Mary
to enter into Heaven, bodily into
Heaven, along side of ...
But in ¶616 though
this is different. Yahweh projects his
own tendency to unfaithfulness on a
scapegoat, namely Job. He treats Job like a
jealous husband, because Job is the
personification of Israel, and Yahweh is
married to Israel by contract. Right?
The "chosen people", except Yahweh is
thinking about not being faithful.
[Chuckle] So Yahweh is loosening his
ties; loosening his ties to Israel, and
he's claiming that Job would be
unfaithful. Okay. Job as the
representative of Israel, which is a
symbol of the wife of Yahweh. Right? And
and so he's test; it's basically like a
husband testing a wife. Okay. So he's
projecting his own tendency of
unfaithfulness on a scapegoat--namely Job.
And Yahweh doubts his own faithfulness
and Yahweh remembers Sophia. That was Self
reflection; it becomes an imperative
necessity. Israel becomes like a
collective
Ego and Yahweh like the Self. Yahweh as
husband and Israel as wife. And then in
_Transformation of the God-Image_,
page 57, Edinger says, "Remember in _Aion_ Jung ... "-- and we've skipped _Aion_--so now we
have to go back to it, but, "Jung stated
that the Anima or Animus can be realized
only through a relation to a partner of
the opposite sex, because only in such a
relation did their projections become
operative. Okay. And so in other words in
order for your archetype to get
constellated and activated, you have to have
a partner of the opposite; and it doesn't
have to do with gender. It has to do with
whatever your preference is, but if
your preference is Feminine, you have to
have someone with a Masculine preference,
regardless of their physical gender, to
reflect back so that you can live a
whole life. So that you can have
the experience of Wholeness. That's what
marriage is about.  And I have posited this thing that
when we're courting, we are totally
focused on our Partner. And so we go
through this Honeymoon period. Right?
Where, "Oh this person is exactly the
right person for me and so on...," but then,
you know, eight or ten weeks after the
marriage you're actually living with
this person and hmmmm... People need to understand
that there's going to be a time when
you're not the perfect; the
other person isn't the perfect
reflection of your Anima or Animus. And
when you start to realize that, what
happens is the Archetype starts to look
around. There's this perfect... No there's this
perfect scene in the movie "The Natural".
Okay. Do you remember that movie. [Voice] With Redford?
Yeah! With Redford and anyway,
remember the Black Mariah woman comes
and shoots him or something? Right? But
she comes out to
beside the railway station. Right? And
the great hitter is there and
and Redford is going to pitch to him. Right?
And so she's paying attention to the
great hitter. Right? And so she's
really into the great hitter and you see
that on her face.  It was amazingly
acted, because, by the woman, because
Redford strikes this guy out, and
immediately her eyes go from the hitter
to Redford. Right? Guuong. And you know, "That's my
guy now." Right? It turns out that ... that's
the guy I'm going to go; it turned out
that's the guy I'm gonna go shoot. Okay.
Right?  Because she was the dark
side... in "The Natural" she was the dark
side but..., but I love that scene because
it actually expresses this idea that...
Okay, once the Honeymoon is over now that
relationship is sealed and so you
don't need to focus on one another
anymore, and so suddenly the eye starts
to wander. [Inaudible comment]
Yeah, and I'm sure that that's what
happens in 50% of divorces. [Inaudible Voice] No, not
actual involvement. I'm just saying that
Archetype; [Voice] "Options." That Archetype will look okay
and you know I remember what Deb and I
were first married I would, you know,
intentionally not look when like there
would be a beautiful girl on the side of
the street, and I was intentionally
ignore her, because ... and Deb later said ...
ten years later she said she appreciated
the fact that I didn't look. Right? [Voice] "While with her."
While she was looking [laughter] ... actually I did, but
I didn't I didn't do it to offend my
wife. Right?
