When the month of the Twins had ended, the men said to their shadows: “You are I,” since they had previously had their spirit around them as a second person.
Thus the two became one,and through this collision the formidable broke out, precisely that spring of consciousness that one calls culture and which lasted until the time of Christ.
But the fish indicated the moment when what was united split, according to the eternal law of contrasts, into an underworld and upperworld. If the power of growth begins to cease, then the united falls into its opposites.
Christ sent what is beneath to Hell, since it strives toward the good. That had to be.
But the separated cannot remain separated forever. It will be united again and the month of the fish will soon be over.
We suspect and understand that growth needs both, and hence we keep good and evil close together.
Because we know that too far into the good means the same as too far into evil, we keep them both together. ~Carl Jung,The Red Book, Pages 314-315.
