Introduction to the Bible, Psyche, Individuation, and Old Testament in Poetry

All quotes from Edward F. Edinger, The Bible and the Psyche Individuation Symbolism in the Old Testament

p. 9

Individuation means becoming a single, homogeneous being, and in so far as “individuality” embraces our innermost, last, and incomparable uniqueness, it also implies becoming one’s own self. We could therefore translate individuation as “coming to selfhood” or “self-realization.”

p. 9

Individuation is the process of the ego’s encounter with and progressive relation to the Self.

p. 11

We must read the Bible or we shall not understand the psychology. Our psychology, whole lives, our language and imagery are built upon the Bible. C.G. Jung

p. 11
Jung, “a scientific psychology must regard those transcendental intuitions that sprang from the human mind in all ages as projections, that is as psychic contents that were extrapolated in metaphysical space and hypostatized.”
