WIE: What is the Self according to Jung? Is it that which represents or calls us to realize our highest potential as human beings?
WIE:对于容格来说,什么是自体?它可以代表或者激发我们认识我们作为人类所具有的最大的潜能么?
JH: The Self would be the wisdom of the organism. The totality of the purposefulness of that which we are, which transcends consciousness.
JH:自体是生物体的智慧。我们的自体具有的意图的总合超越了意识。
WIE: You mentioned that in "dialoguing with the Self," one might discover that one's destiny was to become an artist. When Jung refers to this "summons of the Self," it seems that he is referring to that undertaking or role in life for which we are best suited, which utilizes our talents most fully, regardless of what it may be—and that it is not necessarily a summons to the spiritual path.
WIE:你提到“与自体对话”,一个人可能会发现他的目标是成为一个艺术家。当容格谈及“唤起自体”的时候,似乎他是指在生命中计划或者扮演一个最适合我们的角色,最充分的运用我们的天赋而不管它可能是什么——这样它就不必要是精神方式的呼唤。
