"The small world of the child, the family milieu, is the model for the big world. The more intensely the family sets its stamp on the child, the more he will be emotionally inclined, as an adult, to see in the great world his former small world."

I'm no Carl Jung, but my experience affirms his observation.

Thanks for the quote, Fuzzy. I read quite a lot by C.G. Jung in the past when I used some of his writings for my thesis on wholeness. I find a lot of his writings convincing although some of the more spiritual statements like those on archetypes can be questioned.
I agree with the above. The more deeply a child is formed and influenced by its family, the more will the the adult self draw on these influences when interacting with the wider world. At the same time, I try to think these 'marks' can undergo certain changes as well when we grow up so they might not be quite like carvings in stone, which are almost indelible. The last bit was just an additional thought, Rohag, no criticism. I know what you mean. __________________ As long as we dream, we are still alive. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
