Archetypal Forces: From Instinct to Culture.
The Transformation of the Human Spirit.
This series of images begins divided into three groups: subtle body, instinct, and archetype. This triad forms the basis for the remaining images that will be progressively added. The subtle body, the point of intersection between the higher and the lower, the inner and the outer, is located in the center, indicating the synthesis of the archetype and instinct group. The first image of the subtle body group contains the meaning of the entire series.
As the series progresses, it begins to show its pattern and rhythm. A natural movement that begins in the center and continues downward before ascending and returning to the center, where both extremes (instinct and archetype) meet. This figure-eight movement (vertical) resembles the infinity symbol (horizontal), which represents the eternal and continuous flow of psychic energy through the body. The same pattern is repeated six more times to complete the triads of instinct and archetype that form the two pillars of the body that support the subtle body. We can also observe the serpentine movement of psychic energy, which resembles the process of inner development.
Up to this point, the images have been created in 4/4, 4/2, and 4/3 patterns. Four stages, four days, and so on.
Two important summits are reached at different stages of the process. The first, a "minor" summit, completes the building of two columns and marks the beginning of the middle path leading to the second summit or "major" summit. From here, four images extend like the branches of a tree, creating a quaternary structure. We move from a trinitarian structure, the basis of the series, to a quaternary structure, completing the first part of the series and giving rise to a new group.
In progress. More soon …
