Eros in language, myth and dream

Presented at the conference From Chaos to Eros, sponsored by the C.G. Junjg Institute of Los Angeles held at the Immaculate Heart High School, October 30-31, 1976.. "This is a transcription of the lecture and is not indended for reference or citation without the author's permission.

'In developing this theme, From Chaos to Eros, I was taken by the image of Chaos giving birth to Eros. Taking up a relationship with this image means not so much trying to define Chaos and Eros empirically, logically, or even psychologically, but to enter these images imaginally.....In taking up an imaginal relation to the image of Chaos as womb to Eros, one sees that it is necessary to stay with Chaos, in Chaos, to nurture it, stand it, give it one's time, one's energy, to give disconnection and unrelatedness its place, its space; to carry Chaos, to know and feel the body of Chaos, to accept that it belongs, and to realize that all of this is for the purpose of giving Eros birth.' --p.2
