Dunn—Fierstein, Patricia. The Reintegration of the Archetypal Feminine in Black and White Volume 6, Number 2, 1997 (Volume VI, Number 2, 1997) Keywords: Collective Unconscious, archetypal feminine, Kuan Yin, Mammy, matriarchal compassion, amirta Abstract: This article explores the archetypal feminine as a
transcendent image in the psyche, in both her dark and light forms.
Two images in particular are explored in depth: Kuan Yin, the
bodhisattva of compassion, and the Mammy as an element of the Black
Madonna. These images are depicted in the case of a seven year old
girl who lost two mothers and was living with a rejecting
grandmother. It shows with amazing clarity, Jung’s concept of the
collective unconscious as this 7 year old child uses Kuan Yin in the
tray, and speaks of her with amazing internal knowledge, impossible
for her to have known. |
