"The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born first must destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas" - Hermann Hesse, Demian

I am interested particularly in comments relating to the third sentence here ("Who would be born first must destroy a world.") and how it might relate to Jungian psychology.

Scarlett_...: I'm interested in any and all comments. Forget I made that last remark if it helps you.

The human born into this world of illusion,uses the experiences of this world to to grow spiritually, until he learns to break through the illusions of mental concepts, then as he merges into oneness with God, he desolves this world losing all sense of personal self as a drop of water merges into the ocean. That Gods name is unspeakable.

Since only two brave citizens have answered your (triplicate) question under the Philosophy category, I’ll throw in MY “Phenomeno-logical” response, as well:

Follow the path marked by Happiness and Compassion and you shall eventually awaken your true unconscious self beyond all superficiality, word plays, illusions, AND Gnostic “Abacaxi” Gods.

The very last part of your question (how it might relate to Jungian psychology) kinda kills any reasonable answer I could make. You should have featured it more in the question instead of mentioning it at the very end.
