Manifestation of the Primordial Unconscious
By Djuna Mautanin, lecture delivered in Paris, Feb 1923.
The manifestation of the primordial unconscious must needs be an order of magnitude more splendid and
terrifying than the manifestation of the collective unconscious. Here we see the connections between
disparate mythologies so painstakingly examined by Sir James Frazer in The Golden Bough. Here we have the
creatures of primitive creation myth, Tiamat and Uranus. Immanence, or indwelling, is the spiritual proposition
that the numinosium may focus into the physical body. We must also take into account the legends of
possession by demons or spirits. Whether or not the collective or even primordial unconscious may collect
itself behind the veil of the persona, filling the unconscious remains open to chilling speculation.
