I am back. Today\u2019s image wasn\u2019t taken by a railway track. I took this image early this afternoon. I went on a second outing to visit an abandoned farm yard about two kilometres from town as the crow flies. Though I didn\u2019t realise it when I took this photo, it is about consciousness which is the whole objective of individuation. As I wrote early this morning for the book project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cShadows serve as contrast to the glaring light of new found consciousness. Shadow frames this new sense of self and the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we move forward into
life, into the day, we shift our focus from the framed light to a world that appears to be all light. The world of things, people, activity and function take away our sense of the world being a magical place. The way forward seems straight forward with relatively easily managed shifts as we grow to adulthood.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gustav Jung has this to say about consciousness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cConsciousness grows out of an unconscious psyche which is older than it and which goes on functioning together with it or even in spite of it.\u201dC.G. Jung, CW 9i, par. 502<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
