A ' UNION OF OPPOSITES' FOR 2022?
A widely known Jungian depth psychologist explains the opinion that 2022 with it's many 2's can have a hopeful meaning for the world....that we've reached a time where many of the harsh 'opposites' we've necessarily lived and suffered with in recent centuries are perhaps finely tuned for a pronounced culture changing increased 'union of opposites'. This, depth psychology suggests, has long been unconsciously yearned for by humanity. We all likely experience this split or lack of union in our potential wholeness day in and day out. And we see it increasingly clear in our outer world.
These 'opposite pairs' may include: thinking & feeling, high & low, inner & outer, heaven & earth, conservative & liberal extremes, the masculine & feminine principles, man & woman, intuition & physical reality, strong & weak, sexuality & spirituality, assertiveness & passivity, flesh & spirit, head & soul, peace & war, intellect & heart, good & evil, disease & health, negative & positive, chaos & order, giving & receiving, science & 'religion', well being & suffering, fullness & emptiness, Divine & Human, wealth & poverty, rules & freedom, material & spiritual, conscious & unconscious, Eros & Logos, Apollo & Dionysius, introversion & extroversion, love & control, calm & tension, choice & destiny, rational and irrational, fear & confidence, life & death, trust & doubt, love & power....and many other opposing factor pairs we experience in our daily living reality.
With our still necessarily limited consciousness all of us at times fall victim to one side of some of these opposites. We then strive for, culturally and personally, and often accept only one side while ignoring, denying and even despising and demonsizing the other. This reduces our capacity for balance and wholeness. The appropriate divine/human response has eternally been not to irradicate any side of an opposite pair but to seek and pray for a transcending union to occur.
Should 2022 be a year where many of these opposites come together in better harmonies than yet known, both in individuals and in world dynamics, we may be very satisfied and appreciative to have lived in this new year.
There is likely imo no more realistic or supportable optimistic view of our present situation and problems than this one or something similar...ie expecting a significant increase in the 'union of opposites' resulting in broader consciousness in us and in our one world.
The equal sided cross has been at intervals, from most ancinet times, a spiritually living symbol of the 'union of opposites' the world has always evolutionarily been moving toward. It indicates a greater completion, harmony, balance and wholeness naturally longing to be expressed uniquely in persons and in our only world home
A blessed 2022 for all persons worldwide !!
