Jung felt that there had been a connection, somehow, between himself as an individual and humanity in general that could not be explained away.

 Jung Society of Atlanta - Anima
Jung's homey language refers to a crucial, rare, and somewhat hard-to-grasp aspect of individuation that Jung called "the relativization of the ego," referring to a type of self-awareness whereby one recognizes that one's conscious sense of identity is but one component of the psyche.
The anima figure wants to be loved, or occasionally to be hated, in either case living for connection, as is consistent with her general role as representative of the status of the man's unconscious eros and particularly his relationship to himself.
Jung asserts that "because the anima, as the feminine aspect of man, possesses...receptivity and [an] absence of prejudice toward the irrational, she is designated the mediator between consciousness and the unconscious." (E. Jung, p.

 BBC - h2g2 - Jung's Model of the Psyche - A604009
Jung felt intuitively that the tem 'shadow' was appropriate for this dissociated subpersonality because, denied the light of consciousness, it was relegated to the twilight zone in the personal unconscious.
Jung's 'experiments with the unconscious' - his work on 'occult phenomena' and 'complexes' that function like subpersonalities, and the delusional material of his schizophrenic patients - and his anthropological studies led him to conclude that the unconscious mind exists in its own right and functions autonomously from the conscious mind.
It is also the presence of the anima that causes a man to fall suddenly in love when he sees a woman and knows instantly that this is 'she'; the man feeling as if he has known this woman intimately for all time.

Jung defined this term as 'a meaningful coincidence' of a psychic and a physical state or events which have no causal relationship to one another.
It seemed to Jung as though time, far from being an abstraction, is a concrete continuum which contains qualities or basic conditions that manifest themselves simultaneously in different places through parallelisms that cannot be explained causally, as, for instance, in cases of the simultaneous occurrence of identical thoughts, symbols, or psychic states.

 Serpentina - Origin Stories, Myths & Theories - Critique
Jung considered his own language, German, to be erroneous in assigning feminine gender to the sun, which is a good example of how our preconceptions can blind us to new evidence when it appears.
Jung was not ready to recognize the fact that his vision was indeed prophetic: it predicted the demise of patriarchy and the resurgence of sacred female powers, which Jung himself helped to promote in some ways, even though he experienced great fear and resistance to both phenomena.
Jung did not have the feminist concepts that would have allowed him to become conscious of his own androcentrism and sexism, because much of the feminist scholarship that came later needed concepts that Jung himself had articulated.

 Jung's Anima Theory and How it Relates to Crossdressing
Jung used the term "anima" to refer to the repressed, unconscious female aspects of a mans personality.
Jung used the word 'anima' to refer to the sum total of all these parts of the man's psyche that are considered in some way female and which are therefore repressed.
It is consistent with the anima theory that the urge to crossdress may diminish as the anima is integrated into the personality: once anima integration is accomplished, the crossdressing has less purpose.

 Fallen From Grace: The Unreal Ideal - Amanda Millay - Eclectica Magazine v6n4
Jung says, "This image of a woman, because it is an archetype of the collective unconscious, has attributes that appear and reappear through the ages, whenever men are describing the women who are significant to them.
As Jung states, "so long as the anima is unconscious she is always projected, for everything unconscious is projected" (6).
The man, projecting his anima on to a woman, says something; for example, that he loves how graceful she is. Since an important man in her life has said this, she will mold herself to fit the projection.

 Animus
And, at the same time, she is the great illusionist, the seductress, who draws him into life with her Maya-and not only into life's reasonable and useful aspects, but into its frightful paradoxes and ambivalences where good and evil, success and ruin, hope and despair, counterbalance one another.
When the anima is strongly constellated, she softens the man's character and makes him touchy, irritable, moody, jealous, vain, and unadjusted.["Concerning the Archetypes and the Anima Concept,"[ ibid., par.
Jung suggested that if the encounter with the shadow is the "apprentice-piece" in a man's development, then coming to terms with the anima is the "master-piece."["Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious," CW 9i, par.

 Jung’s Anima Theory and How it Relates to Crossdressing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
The crossdresser gradually experiences his “inner female.” As he does, he finds parts that are of fundamental importance, and realizes that these transcend labels of ‘male’ or ‘female.’ He also learns to distinguish the positive, profound parts of the anima (spirituality, love, beauty, etc.) from the trivial (promiscuity, vanity, etc.).
The new self continues to grow – presumably in the direction of greater spirituality and service to others.
However, once his theory – which is quite plausible – is understood, the implications for crossdressing follow fairly clearly.
