Quote p. 19, Edward F. Edinger, Mysterium Coniunctionis
“On the one hand, the efforts of the ego create the coniunctio but, on the other, fate decides, and the ego is a victim of a decision made ‘over [its] head or in defiance of [its] heart,’ as Jung puts it.”

Quote p. 19 & 20, Edward F. Edinger, Mysterium Coniunctionis
“Then it was that I first knew my son /
And we two came together as one.
…………………………
Therefore my son was also my father /
…………………………..[and]
I bore the mother who gave me birth.”
