PAUL PINES' LATEST ESSAY IN NUMERO CINQ



You are invited to read Paul Pines' wonderful essay, "Trolling with the Fisher King: The Archaeology of Dreams" in Numero Cinq!  Here's an excerpt:

I learned that my nightly dreams constituted a personal myth, but that Mythology functions as our collective dream. Both divulge meaning through symbols and archetypal imagery and serve as portals for information that enlarges waking consciousness. A key function of dream and myth, personally and collectively, is the integration of experience, without which the psyche would split, exist in what might be compared to a schizoid state, “beside itself.” As Carl Jung might have put it, The Spirit of the Times must be informed by The Spirit of the Depths.
