"The encounter with the shadow is the 'apprentice-piece' in the individual's development...that with the anima / animus is the 'masterpiece'" Carl Jung

Animus


 "What we women have to overcome in our relation to the animus is not pride but lack of  self-confidence and the resistance of inertia.  For us, it is not as though we had to demean ourselves, but as if we had to life ourselves."  Ema Jung
(Animus and Anima, Spring Publications, Dallas, Texas, 1978)

"Woman is compensated by a masculine element and therefore her unconscious has, so to speak, a masculine imprint. This results in a considerable psychological difference between men and women, and accordingly I have called the projection-making factor in women the animus, which means mind or spirit." Carl Jung
(From The Syzygy: Anima and Animus, Collected Works, 9ii, par. 28f.)

Notice I put Ema on top of her better known and more illustrious hubby.  Hey, we girls have to stick together. (wink)




Sorry Bob, But Brian's giving you a run for your honey on this one.  My animus is wide ranging and multi layered. wink wink


Let's Stick Together (Down in the Groove) Bob Dylan

Well, a young marriage vow, you know, it's very sacred
The man put us together, now, you wanna make it
Stick together
Come on, come on, stick together.

You know, you made a vow, not to leave one another, never
 Well, ya never miss you water till your well runs dry
Come one, baby, give our love a try, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
We made a vow, not to leave one another, never.

Well, ya never miss your water till your well runs dry
Come one, baby, give our love a try, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
You know, we made a vow, not to leave one another, never.

It might be tough for a while, but consider the child
Cannot be happy without his mom and his pappy
Let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
You know, we made a vow, not to leave one another, never.
