Subject(s): Abstract: 'On the individual level, when a relationship breaks down, or we lose our religious belief, one is subjected to direct contact with archetypal energies which previously were organized and mediated by the relationship or the religious container. Evedntually a new structure and new organization replaces the previous one, but there may be a considerable period of disorientation and psychic pain. Part of this experience may be direct exposure to the opposites that are inherent in the psyche. As a result we may experience extreme self-doubt, and painfully question the very validity or nature of our existence. Such a breakdown provides an opening for what I'm calling the dynamic principle of the creative feminine which comes in to mediate parts of the fragmented structure, bring in a new organizing principle, and eeffect the creation of a new container and a renewed sense of wholeness. It is my hypothesis that the more consciously the creative feminine functions, the greater the possibility that the new organization, the new synthesis, will be a positive evolution. The creative feminine is the dynamic wisdom of the collective psyche. It is that which effects changes that need to happen and finds the right moment to do it. Because destruction is so closely linked to creativity, the creative feminine also helps to bring about dissolution.'
