>>14995576>In you is hidden the Treasure of Treasures. Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods.">19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.Jung says that for example, the manifestation of archetypes in personal dreams and visions and intuitions and projections are rarely as robust (but can be) as the larger cultural instantiations of those images, such as the collective Virgin Mary as opposed to a vision a man might have in a dream of Aphrodite. Because thousands have added to this image with a piece of their own spark, so it represents a robust and deeply differentiated manifestation. Personal visions are mostly very wispy unless you spend decades collecting data over many dreams. So its like a shortcut. I dont like catholicism but I recognize their vast resources and images by their saints. Even some saints had to repress their visions out of fear of persecution. It's state totalitarianism of the kind Christ would not tolerate. Christ would not like what they do.
This is the reason Christ is one of the best instantiations of this image, 1. when he incarnated, he actually furthered the drama and added details that were not present before. The archetype unfolded further. 2. It actually is totally rich with meaning. It's the best example of a psychic structure speaking for itself directly in plain words rather than using symbols and abstract drama faintly perceived in a vision. He literally is doing that.
