• The “persona” (or mask) is the outward face we present to the world. It conceals our real self and Jung describes it as the “conformity” archetype. This is the public face or role a person presents to others as someone different to who we really are (like an actor). +
• The persona usually grows from the parts of people that wished once to please teachers, parents, and other authority figures, and as such it leans heavily toward embodying only one’s best qualities, leaving those negative traits which contradict the Persona to form the “Shadow”. +

• The “anima/animus” is the mirror image of our biological sex, that is, the unconscious feminine side in males and the masculine tendencies in women respectively. Each sex manifests attitudes and behaviour of the other by virtue of centuries of living together. The psyche of a woman contains masculine aspects (the animus archetype), and the psyche of a man contains feminine aspects (the anima archetype). +

in quotes:

• "The Sage lives openly with apparent duality / and paradoxical unity. / Therefore she acts without doing anything / and teaches without saying a word. / Things arise and she lets them come; / things disappear and she lets them go. / She has but doesn’t possess, / and acts without any expectations. / When her work is done, she takes no credit. / That is why it will last forever.” Tao Te Ching

• The House of Yes (1997)
  • THE HOUSE OF YES is a comforting holiday movie for people who think they have fucked-up families. The worst person in the world is not your mother or father after all, but probably someone like Parker Posey’s Jackie O. With a performance that sizzles like seltzer water, Posey makes sociopathy looks seductive. Likewise the film lures you into its house of horrors with wicked wit; you’re laughing until you come upon the entwined skeletons in the closet. In his debut film, Mark Waters shows us that he has the same sick sense of humour as his brother Daniel, who wrote HEATHERS (a favourite, of course). Unlike his brother, however, Mark cannot take much credit for the clever writing—much of the brilliance of THE HOUSE OF YES likely lies in Wendy MacLeod's original scr...

Jung regarded the psyche as made up of a number of separate but interacting systems. The three main ones were the ego , the personal unconscious , and the collective unconscious . +

Ego

• Represents the conscious mind as it comprises the thoughts, memories, and emotions a person is aware of. The ego is largely responsible for feelings of identity and continuity.

Personal Unconscious

• Contains temporality forgotten information and repressed memories. An important feature of the personal unconscious is called complexes. A complex is a collection of thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and memories that focus on a single concept.

Collective Unconscious

• A level of unconscious shared with other members of the human species comprising l...archetypes.

in astrology:

• Virgo is the virgin-whore not in a sexual sense, necessarily, although it can be the case. It’s more so in the manner that this sign can veer back and forth from the famously pristine, organized reserve (virgin) that the sign is famous for to a much looser, messier form of personal expression (whore) +
