Ordinary sick people follow ordinary patterns, but the shaman cannot be cured by the usual methods of healing. He has to find the unique way, the only way that applies to him. Wikipedia Wiktionary Shop. Puer Aeternus is Latin for eternal child , used in mythology to designate a child-god who is forever young; psychologically it refers to an older man whose emotional life has remained at an adolescent level, usually coupled with too great a dependence on the mother. The puer typically leads a provisional life, due to the fear of being caught in a situation from which it might not be possible to escape. He covets independence and freedom, chafes at boundaries and limits, and tends to find any restriction intolerable. In the poem Ovid addresses the child-god Iacchus as puer aeternus and praises him for his role in the Eleusinian mysteries. Iacchus is later identified with the gods Dionysus and Eros. The puer is a god of vegetation and resurrection, the god of divine youth, such as Tammuz , Attis and Adonis. The figure of a young god who is slain and resurrected also appears in Egyptian mythology as the story of Osiris , and is said to be symbolized in Christianity by the figure of Christ. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung developed a school of thought called analytical psychology , distinguishing it from the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud - In analytical psychology often called "Jungian psychology" the puer aeternus is an example of what Jung called an archetype , one of the "primordial, structural elements of the human psyche". The shadow of the puer is the senex Latin for "old man" , associated with the god Apollo --disciplined, controlled, responsible, rational, ordered. Conversely, the shadow of the senex is the puer , related to Dionysus --unbounded instinct, disorder, intoxication, whimsy. Like all archetypes the puer is bi-polar, exhibiting both a "positive" and an "negative" aspect. The "positive" side of the puer appears as the Divine Child who symbolizes newness, potential for growth, hope for the future. He also foreshadows the hero that he sometimes becomes e. The "negative" side is the child-man who refuses to grow up and meet the challenges of life face on, waiting instead for his ship to come in and solve all his problems. When the subject is a female the Latin term is puella aeterna , imaged in mythology as the Kore Greek for "maiden". One might also speak of a puer animus when describing the masculine side of the female psyche, or a puella anima when speaking of a man's inner feminine component. Jung Institute, Zurich, during the Winter Semester, The Problem of the Puer Aeternus by Marie-Louise von Franz As the years roll by, the puer becomes more and more unable to deal with life, and may take refugee in drugs, alcohol or strange behavior, become a member of a cult, or run from one mother figure to the next, ever growing weary from his lack of purpose. If he is lucky, he will find enough trauma to shake him from his slumber and break the spell of his identification long enough to get a glimpse of himself. While trouble and waste of energy can be attributed to those lost in the puer archetype, it has a great advantage for those who can balance it with a disciplined intellect and love for their fellows. The puer's creative energy is behind most accomplishments in art and philosophy, and brings light and song into the drab world of work and decay. As Nicoll pointed out, the divine child within is our intermediary with the eternal realm. He can see both worlds and will shows us the inner one if we wish. The intellect may play its part in manifestation and discipline, but it cannot travel out of the mind, into the realm of the unmanifest, the puer's home. He is merely the archetype of the eternal-youth god, and therefore he has all the features of the god: he has a nostalgic longing for death; he thinks of himself as being something special; he is the one sensitive being among all the other tough sheep. He will have a problem with an aggressive, destructive shadow which he will not want to live and generally projects, and so on. There is nothing special about him whatsoever. The worse the identification with the youthful god, the less individual the person, although he himself feels so special. Puer Aeternus: Wikipedia. Latin for eternal child, used in mythology to designate a child-god who is forever young; psychologically it refers to an older man whose emotional life has remained at an adolescent level, usually coupled with too great a dependence on the mother. Puer Aeternus, The Eternal Boy, The Seer: "In a revolt against "the earthly, the conservative, the possessive", he may begin a long ascent into a flight upward and become the ascending son, the Peter Pan or "eternal boy," the moth "mad for the light. Trap: Caught in an ideal. We may think because we believe in an ideal such as the betterment of our fellow man that we are somehow automatically above the fray, that our every action is justified, because the means justifies the end for the chosen few. Trick: Walking the walk. The above thinking will quickly lead everything we do into building up the ego, and keep us from noticing the difference between our ideals and our actions. If we live the life we believe, we must have no glaring contradictions between what we say and tell others, and what we ourselves do. Self-honesty can go a long way in showing us how our fact status and our story may be two very different things. The shock of seeing this could go a long way in waking us up. Progress on the spiritual path can be thought of in terms of value, or love. What is most important to us is what we value the most, what we really love. The path of self-discovery can be seen in these terms. We observe ourselves, and discover what our true motivations are, leading us to see what we value. Another way to see this is by checking our fact status. What we actually do everyday tells us much about what we value, and perhaps shows us the gap between our personal storyline and our actions. If this fact checking and self-observation are carried far enough, we may begin to get a look at something called our 'self' or personality, and begin to see its illusive nature. We may be forced to admit to its exalted status as our real true love, despite our ego's protestations to the contrary. Using this shock as further fuel for the search, we become a bit more honest in our future assessments. The assumption in all of these passages is that human sexuality has a natural course of development, and that success has a single end point, mature heterosexuality. If homosexuality was seen as just an immature stage of development, then there is also an implicit belief that with proper analysis, the trajectory of sexual maturity can be restarted and the homosexual client can be cured. The LGBTQ analysand is not supported in developing a healthy life as a queer person, a goal a therapist would know to pursue today. It should be noted that these examples are also a microcosm of the discussions going on in the larger world of psychology at the time. Thankfully, these theories about homosexuality are being definitively disproven. Gay men have long described a general feeling of being different that started at a young age, and many parents of gay children tell me they suspected their children were gay from as young as age two. Biological research is also teaching us that sexual orientation is biologically innate, constitutional, and fixed. Psychological research demonstrates that attempts to change sexual orientation inevitably fail, and the attempts themselves are psychologically damaging to subjects of change efforts. None of the people cited here were what we would call homophobic today. Relative to the standards of their time, each was in fact fairly progressive and accepting. Many believe that von Franz may have been a lesbian or in a relationship with her long term friend and housemate. Still, Jungian psychology should be more explicit in addressing and correcting past mistakes. Post-Jungian analysts unwittingly played a role in promoting stereotypes and degrading the mental health and well being of LGBTQ people. His lot is seldom what he really wants and one day he will do something about it — but not just yet. Plans for the future slip away in fantasies of what will be, what could be, while no decisive action is taken to change. He covets independence and freedom, chafes at boundaries and limits, and tends to find any restriction intolerable. For this he would need a faithless Eros , one capable of forgetting his mother and undergoing the pain of relinquishing the first love of his life. Common symptoms of puer psychology are dreams of imprisonment and similar imagery: chains, bars, cages, entrapment, bondage. Life itself, existential reality, is experienced as a prison. Puer Aeternus - individunification (mirror) One might also speak of a puer animus when describing the masculine side of the female psyche, or a puella anima when speaking of a man's inner feminine component.

  • Dal Falso Se Al Puer Aeternus: La Riscoperta Del Mito Di Peter Pan
    SPEF - SCUOLA DI PSICOTERAPIA ERICH FROMM -PRATO Giuditta Perri Stefania Stefanelli DAL FALSO SE AL PUER AETERNUS: LA RISCOPERTA DEL MITO DI PETER PAN “Il mito è nulla che è tutto.” F. Pessoa Il nostro lavoro nasce dalla lettura del libro “ Il linguaggio simbolico” di E. Fromm. Affascinate da quanto letto ci siamo letteralmente “imbattute” in quello che è divenuto un vero e proprio mito moderno, Peter Pan. Iniziamo da quello che Fromm ci dice per quanto riguarda la genesi del simbolo. Che cos’è un simbolo? Un simbolo viene spesso definito come “qualcosa che sta al posto di qualcos’altro.” Nel linguaggio simbolico le esperienze interiori vengono espresse come se fossero esperienze sensoriali, come qualcosa che abbiamo fatto o subito nel mondo esteriore; in esso il mondo esterno è un simbolo del mondo interno, un simbolo per le nostre anime e le nostre menti. Il mito, come il sogno, presenta una storia che si svolge nello spazio e nel tempo e che esprime, in un linguaggio simbolico, concetti religiosi e filosofici, esperienze dell’anima in cui sta il vero significato del mito. La storia manifesta non è altro che una modalità comunicativa, essa contiene precise tracce del passato. Tra coloro che hanno permesso una interpretazione innovativa del mito, Fromm annovera in particolar modo Bachofen 1 e Freud. Il primo ha permesso di cogliere nel mito sia il significato religioso e psicologico, sia quello più squisitamente storico. Il secondo, basandosi sulla sua teoria dei sogni, ha permesso la lettura simbolica dei miti; Freud però sbagliava nel leggere in essi solo degli impulsi irrazionali o primitivi, e non la saggezza del passato.

Os contos de fadas representam os arquétipos em sua forma mais plena, concisa e simples. Nesse contexto, Peter Pan representa o arquétipo do ‘Puer Aeternus’, também conhecido como Eterno Adolescente ou Eterno Jovem. O homem que se identifica com este arquétipo se comporta de maneira adolescente, levando para a fase adulta características comuns à fase da adolescência e permanecendo, na maioria dos casos, dependente da mãe. Não obstante a cura do Puer seja sua união com seu extremo oposto, o arquétipo Senex, na história de Barrie o Puer, na figura do Peter Pan, vence o Senex, representado pelo Capitão Gancho, e o ciclo do masculino reinicia-se sem ser transformado. Peter Pan permanece num estado infantil de desenvolvimento vinculado ao problema do complexo materno.

  • Peter Pan, “Why Fear Death? It Is the Most Beautiful Adventure That Life Gives Us.”
    A Reader's Guide ON THE SAME PAGE 2020 MADISON LIBRARY DISTRICT Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet James Barrie, often referred to as J.M. Barrie, was the ninth of ten children born to David Barrie, a hand weaver, and the former Margaret (Mary) Ogilvy in Kirriemuir, Scotland on May 9, 1860. Little Jamie had a complicated relationship with the matriarch of this strict Calvinist family. His maternal grandmother had died when Mary was eight, leaving her to run the large household. She had no real childhood of her own which may have tainted her relationships with her children. Mary had a very clear favorite, Jamie’s older brother David. When Jamie was six and David fourteen, David was killed in an ice skating accident, and Mary plummeted into an emotional abyss. Attempting to gain her love and give her some consolation, little Jamie began dressing in his dead brothers clothes, tried to act like him, give his familiar whistles, etc. At one point, he walked into a room where his mother was sitting in the dark, her eyes grew large and she asked, “Is that you?” to which Jamie replied, “No, it’s no him; it’s just me.” The only thing that seemed to give his mother any comfort was knowing that David would never grow up and leave her behind. Jamie was a small child, short (Even as an adult, he never passed five feet three inches.) and slight who drew attention to himself through storytelling. He spent much of his school years in Glasgow where his two oldest siblings, Mary Ann and Alexander, taught at the academy.

  • Peter and the Starcatcher Presents His Story in the Way It Was Originally Intended - Live On- Stage
    Study Guide, December 2015 Prepared by Robert Neblett INTRODUCTION For more than a century, audiences have been captivated by the story of J. M. Barrie’s “Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up,” Peter Pan. In that time, Peter has been portrayed multiple times onscreen via animation and live action as the incorrigible, Puckish free spirit who represents the childlike innocence within all of us that we cannot let die, no matter how old we get. But Peter and the Starcatcher presents his story in the way it was originally intended - live on- stage. Before the movies and musicals and novels, before Mary Martin and Disney, before Robin Williams, author J. M. Barrie created Peter’s tale as a fable for the stage. Rick Elice’s magical play returns Peter to the world of the theatre and explores the character’s mysterious origins in a story that may be unfamiliar to many audience members, but whose heart is instantly recognizable. Peter and the Starcatcher is a play unlike any you’ve probably seen before. It captures all of the imagination and wonder of a child’s games of “make-believe,” creating magical worlds out of ordinary objects and turning the real world into a land of adventure. It is an experi- ence you can only get in the theatre: live, unpredictable, impossible… human. This Study Guide is designed for educators to utilize this unique theatrical experience to explore Peter and the Starcatcher with their students as a catalyst for encouraging critical thinking and multidisciplinary connections between literature, music, history, science and technology, to name just a few.

  • The Problem of the Puer Aeternus
    !1 It is by no means surprising that our culture is suffering from a problem of arrested development. Not only the adolescents but the adults, who “oppressed by the images of beauty” chase an image of their younger selves to the grave. The essays compiled by Mahdi (1987) locate many of the social issues our culture is facing today in individuals hungering for ritual processes and initiations, lacking the proper container. Amongst others, cutting (scarification), anorexia (fasting), and compulsive violence are just a few examples of the terror which ensues when human beings neglect their psychospiritual hygiene. For the discussion today I would like to focus attention on the destructive lack-of-action in young men who live their lives either pathologically bored or vicariously through their screens, indulging limitlessly in video games, pornography, and identified with what I call the “persona’s persona”, the online self. Many of the popular theories on arrested development argue an external etiology (Henderson, 2005). The idea being, the ego as, it goes through its life, inevitably collides with certain factors that can debilitate it. This ranges from momentary frustration to persistent moods and states of possession lasting weeks, months, and in many cases, years. Our culture of scientism reinforces determining a root cause, but as Wilber (2000) has shown, this rule is applied solely to the third-person, external world, while overlooking subjective factors like mental states and stages of development. Even mental states, he illumines, never survive for long before getting externalized, regurgitated to graphs and charts, explained as byproducts of mechanical processes in the brain or body.

How it repeats and manifests throughout time fuels my work. Through a menagerie of plastic materials, stories and sculptural motifs, my research has parsed what I refer to as the old-young man. Strongly related to the Jungian archetype of the puer aeternus, or eternal boy, my work has been an attempt to locate my own identity in a larger continuum of figurative sculpture. Whether organizing my work with attention to material or narrative, the strategies employed in my studio relate to what I identify as two forms of time. Acknowledging linear time, I embody the shadow of the puer, the senex. Grappling with cyclical time, I assert that the structure of myth points to an eternal narrative repeated generationally. My efforts throughout my study attempt to resolve the dissonance between both. Story serves as much as a material as clay, plaster, or wax, and when utilized in the present, can condense time reaching as far back as antiquity. The problem rests with time. Since the sculptor’s ambition coaxed one foot of his creation in front of the next, a narrative of linear progress has unraveled from ancient Mesopotamia into the present.

DOCTOR WHO AND THE CREATION OF A NON-GENDERED HERO ARCHETYPE Alessandra J. Pelusi 85 Pages December 2014 This thesis investigates the ways in which the television program Doctor Who forges a new, non-gendered, hero archetype from the amalgamation of its main characters. In order to demonstrate how this is achieved, I begin with reviewing some of the significant and relevant characters that contribute to this. I then examine the ways in which female and male characters are represented in Doctor Who, including who they are, their relationship with the Doctor, and what major narrative roles they play. I follow this with a discussion of the significance of the companion, including their status as equal to the Doctor.
