Yes, you’ve articulated very succinctly what Carl Jung’s work was truly about. I realized recently that those lost in the theories can never understand this. It’s by living well, and doing some unexpected things that one reaches these personal discoveries.
It’s funny you say that because I’ve written a bunch of similar posts totally from my subconscious or even dreams. But only recently have I started to read Jung and have discovered that everything I’ve written in the past aligns perfectly with his theories. These mythologies/energies truly live within in all. My dream about the King/warrior/ocean a few months ago I I wrote about here I now know was a classic Jungian dream about the king energy coming online.
I love this interpretation of the Dragon and Princess mythologem! Funny too from my point of view that I should find myself reading this, as it's been on my mind recently for entirely different reasons. Synchronicities, as you pointed out to another commentor.
I maintain that Carl Jung is one of the greatest gifts to humanity we've ever received.
When I was real little, probably around 5, I would go in the backyard, sword in hand, and fight the bad dragon. Alongside me was the good dragon. What did I know then that I forgot? As an adult seeking to find my way back to that pure imagination, it's almost like those dragons were innocence and corruption. Whatever happened to them and where are their spawn?

Agree. I can’t believe how long I went without learning about his ideas.

They live deep inside us waiting for their glorious return!
What a fun coincidence we both made a post about loving a dragon today ^^
