ABSTRACT

The “Maid of Desolation,” driven by matricidal heroic thinking, is flooding our collective consciousness by way of the coronavirus, an ethical wakeup call that holds not only unfathomable tragedy but also the possibility of transformation and rebirth. Shifting to another way of being requires that patriarchal consciousness undergo a sacrifice, an ego death. Jung makes three major psychological shifts in his process of individuation: this article offers a closer look at each turning point as a guide for how to submit to the death of our national exceptionalistic ego and shift into another way of being. If enough individuals have had that transformative experience within themselves, then they become seeds sown in the collective psyche, which can promote the unification of the collective psyche as a whole. If there was ever a time for humanity to “find salvation through a symbolic death,” it is now.

摘要

在残酷的英雄思想的驱使下，“荒芜之女”正通过冠状病毒充斥着我们的集体意识，这是一种道德上的唤醒，不仅带来了深不可测的悲剧，而且还带来了转化和重生的可能性。转向另一种存在方式需要父权制意识进行牺牲，即自我死亡。荣格在个人化过程中进行了三项主要的心理转变：本文仔细研究了每个转折点，以此作为指导我们如何服从我们国家超自然主义自我之死并转向另一种存在方式的指南。如果足够多的人在自己内部经历了这种变革性的经历，那么他们将成为集体心理中播下的种子，这可以促进整个集体心理的统一。
