Peppered through the later texts of Jung are references from the alchemist Dorn.  The most useful is in many ways the most elusive, for each time I come upon certain insights it seems like a new discovery, though I’ve marked them wildly on each previous read as if that former self had stumbled across some lost treasure.

Chapter One of the Mysterium Coniunctionis ends thus:

“O wondrous efficacy of the fount, which maketh one of two and peace between enemies!  The fount of love can make mind out of spirit and soul, but this maketh one man of mind and body.”

  • I will add the film to my list...thanks for pointing it out.
