Thus it is that I have now undertaken, in my eighty-third year, to tell my personal myth. Science works with concepts of averages which are far too general to do justice to the subjective variety of an individual life. Myth is more individual and expresses life more precisely than does science. What we are to our inward vision, and what man appears to be sub specie aeternitatis, can only be expressed by way of myth. I cannot employ the language of science to trace this process of growth in myself, for I cannot experience myself as a scientific problem. My life is a story of the self-realization of the unconscious.Įverything in the unconscious seeks outward manifestation, and the personality too desires to evolve out of its unconscious conditions and to experience itself as a whole.
