' "God is the name by which I designate all things which cross my willful path violently and recklessly, all things which upset my subjective views, plans and intentions and change the course of my life for better or worse' C.G. Jung Good Housekeeping Magazine 1961' " Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 101

"For the Self-connected man ....chance does not exist." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 101

"The Prima Materia is our ego-Self identity, the residue of original inflation. To submit the Prima Materia to the Alchemical Process means to apply conscious effort and attention to the task of refining and separating this composite mixture to the end that the Self will be freed from its contamination with the ego." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 102

"The repetitive cycle of inflation and alienation is superseded by the conscious process of individuation when awareness of the reality of the ego-Self axis occurs" Edinger, Ego& Archetype p 103

"...the ego, while clearly separated from the archetypal psyche ["the symbol"] is open and receptive to the effects of symbolic imagery. A kind of conscious dialogue between the ego and emerging symbols becomes possible. The symbol is then able to perform its proper function as releaser and transformer of psychic energy with full participation of conscious understanding." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p 110

[Concretistic] ""[when] the ego [is] identified with "the symbol"... the symbolic image will be lived out concretely. Ego and archetypal psyche will be one...the individual is unable to distinguish symbols of the archetypal psyche from concrete, external reality. Inner symbolical images are experienced as being real, external facts...There is a danger.. to apply a symbolic image to external physical facts for the purpose of manipulating those facts in our own interest." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p 104

"The ego may be alienated from the symbol...the symbol will be reduced to a sign...for some other know content...whenever we treat our subjective reaction and images in the abstract, statistical manner appropriate to natural science and physical reality...the abstract, objective attitude appropriate for...[the] outer reality is applied to the unconscious psyche in an attempt to manipulate it." Edinger, Ego & Archetype pp110-111

"The conflict between the concretistic fallacy and the reductive fallacy is at the core of the contemporary conflict between the traditional religious view of man and the so called modern scientific view." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p111
