	psyche.html
		Psyche, like imagination, crosses the boundary separating the mortal and the immortal, the transitory and the eternal, because she has been both mortal and immortal.
		The critic Harold Bloom suggests that that Psyche symbolizes the human-soul-in-love; hers is a love story, her lover Cupid is the god of love, his mother is the goddess of love, the poet encounters Psyche and Cupid between kisses, and the last line of the poem welcomes love.
		You must recollect that Psyche was not embodied as a goddess before the time of Apuleius the Platonist, who lived after the Augustan Age, and consequently the goddess was never worshipped or sacrificed to with any of the ancient fervour, and perhaps never thought of in the old religion.

	MicroGlyphics' Book Offerings - Erich Neumann
		Unfolding the spiritual and mythical background of the pagan narrative, he shows how the contest between the mortal maid Psyche and the great goddess Aphrodite over the god Amor--Aphrodite's son, Psyche's husband--yields surprising and valuable insights into the psychic life of women.
		This is the third volume of Neumann's essays on that subject.
		Developing such a synthesis of the feminine and the masculine in the psychic reality of the individual and of the collective was, he argued, one of the fundamental, future-oriented tasks of both the society and the individual.

	J. Schroeder: Amor and Psyche
		When Eros (a god) disappears as a result of Psyche (a mortal) looking at him, this is directly parallel to the way Melusina (a fairy) disappears when her husband (a mortal) looks at her.
		In Schroeder’s view, Melusina’s situation is very much like the crucial lamp scene where Psyche breaks the taboo against seeing the god Eros, thereby causing him to depart and thus ending her paradise of love with him.
		As a punishment for having shut her father in a mountain, Melusina was changed into a snake from the waist down every Saturday and she could be released from this punishment only if she married a man who never saw her in serpent’s form.

	Field-Harmonic Key to the Thoth Tarot
		The statement art can make on an alchemical level can enhance domestic life or have a destructive influence upon it simply because it will be understood by the natural talent within the psyche even if the conscious interface with that psyche is unaware of any such understanding.
		In fact the whole idea of leaving an imprint on a shroud is alchemically symbolic of mortal Aquarius' deepest desire to leave a mark before finally dying, a shroud symbolizing Sagittarius like most garments - an aura.
		Alchemical exploration is what the human ego is designed for, and the transformative influence a path represents can strengthen the ego and transform it into something more beautiful and more evolved over time, but only as the ego performs the work required in navigating the chosen path successfully towards some sensible end.

	In his book Simulations, Jean Baudrillard introduced the notion of social order based simulacra without an original
		The real is indeed under fire, but like the repressed in Freud�s version of the psyche, it threatens to return.
		But despite the critics of postmodernism�s dissolution of the �real�, there is something to what Baudrillard claimed: the first victim of the video war, the simulation, the reportage censored by Israel, was the notion of �reality.� �The real� suffered a mortal blow.
		Gulf War II (whose �moralistic/poetic� name is still being debated by the Pentagon) is an attempt to reconstruct that Matrix, to re-inscribe the borderline, to reclaim the real and reissue it as military rations.

	Presocratics: My Work
		Plato and Parmenides dialogue with each other not only about issues of epistemology, but also about other crucial issues: mortality, living in the physical world of change, and longings (eros) of the soul (thumos or psyche).
		Parmenides attempts a radical synthesis of metaphysics of unchanging being and mortal phusis.
		Parmenides call mortals "two-headed." This dissertation presents a new philosophical hermeneutic for understanding all the fragments of Parmenides’ poem "Peri Phuseos" ("About Nature"), by returning the logical ontology to its context within the poem, between the proem and the cosmology.
