JUNG'S CONCEPT OF THE DAIMON
IN THE HASSIDIC TALE
"HOVERING ABOVE THE PIT"
The man, therefore, who, driven by his daimon, steps beyond the limits of the intermediary stage, truly enters the “untrodden, untreadable regions,” where there are no charted ways and no shelter spreads a protecting roof over his head.
C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections (Jung, 1963)
Everything in the world including ourselves…is essentially a shattered vessel, splintered into many pieces. The work…is...

Heir of lunatic poet-Kabbalists, exiles even unto their own tribe, he had lived to ride the Chariot Divine, to ignite the jewels of the Holy One; to set in motion the code that would add to the evolution of God on this Earth. Accepted the gift and curse of divine partnership, lonely for two-way discourse between the Throne of Glory and our stone/tone on Earth.

The Answer's in the Reruns!
A Spiritual Practice that’s Sweeping the Nation
(Or at least a street or two in the Nation!)
A man sits in a darkened room, slouched as if in a semi-trance, a malted libation beside him. Pointing a mysterious oblong box in the direction of a huge rectangular structure from which flows an ever-moving fresco of sacred images, the man seems to enter into ever deeper and more profound states of trance.

Elderhood and Mentorship
In Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi’s Kabbalistic Novel
"All the experience gained over many lives had prepared him for this day. It was for this he had come into being. With this declaration, the shimmery presence departed. He was left alone to watch out his last hours on earth before beholding the Divine.”
