Anima In Men | Marie Louise von Franz and The Jungian Aion | Depth Psychology

Welcome to the Jungian Aion! In this video we delve with Marie-Louise von Franz into the archetype of the anima in men. The anima is not a theory. She is a living presence who can charm, confuse, wound, and bless. For a man she is both bridge and abyss, testing whether his power serves the ego or bows to the soul. The inner feminine mediates his relation to the unconscious while also being the source of countless projections onto women, leading him into love, disillusion, or despair. Von Franz, from her decades of listening to dreams, shows how the anima unfolds in stages. When immature, she pulls him into fantasy and suffering. Met with consciousness, she becomes a guide and creative muse. She is never only personal. No man becomes truly generative, able to bless others, without meeting her. She asks a simple, severe question: Who do you serve, the ego or the soul?
