The Hidden Path


"Know Thyself"
~ ~ ~

There's something going on within us that we're totally unfamiliar with. 

The Psychologist Carl Jung coined these two terms that are important to our well being and understanding of who we are as human beings as, Animus and Anima.   

Animus is the hidden unconscious (the psyche) masculine side of a female and Anima is the hidden unconscious (the psyche) feminine side of a male.

All of us have these two two traits to a lesser degree or other.    

These archetypes can show up in a personality as being overly aggressive and domineering in a woman (animus) or being nurturing or overly passive in a man (anima).

Thus the female is more prone to acting more masculine than feminine and the male more feminine than masculine.    

I think it's important we know about these traits hidden in our unconscious as they may provide some interesting clues as well as answers as to who we really are and, why we act/react to problems and challenges the way we do.
