چکیده
or in a circumambient 'psychic' realm in which the individual mind is bathed. He also criticises the principle that archetypal figures in dreams and visions may be purely subjective symbols derived from the higher reaches of the personal mind. He suggests that they are in fact superior, invisible Beings under whose influence the individual comes as he develops spiritually. Here again he may be partly right: we cannot scientifically say that more enlightened beings than ourselves are pure myth. But, in Jungian psychology, which is essentially pragmatic, the emphasis is on the meaning and value of such archetypes, rather than on any absolute theory of their nature. What is much more dubious is if there are "higher" practices in spiritualism which brings about contact with any such superior Beings in the way Mr. Hyde suggests. Moreover, he fails to differentiate between this kind of practice and the true yoga which seeks, not psychic phenomena or even guidance, but enlightenment pure and simple.

Engineering I loved it, but it did not love me back. Is it because I am a woman or because I am Black? These are traits, by which I am defined. Labeled, placed in a box, I have been confined.
