Marie Louise Von Franz on Eros
“Eros weaves links between us and the others, but there are also internal connections. Connection is the right term.
For example, we talk about network of associations when the various amplifications of an archetypal form is a network.
They connect each other and form a plot. For this reason, Jung said that archetypes act for contamination.
To contaminate in Latin means weave. Likewise, our mental processes constitute a network, a network of associations.
Than also our feelings appear as a network.
We continuously create connections.
To make active imagination is like weaving a cloth and this put us in connection to destiny, because unconscious fantasies are their destiny. ” ~Marie Louise von Franz
