The following dream is the most remarkable example on the theme of coagulatio symbolism that I have yet encountered:
Separatio constitutes one of seven major alchemical operations as distinguished by Edinger, each one a center of an elaborate symbol system making up the principle content of all culture-products. The author's cluster diagram (fig. 007.00) of separatio is shown below:
A consideration of Greek mythology must start with at least a brief look at the myths of creation or cosmogony. There are several versions of how the cosmos came into existence
Apollo's attributes are the sun, light, clarity, truth. He represents the principle of rational consciousness which, in so many positive and heroic figures, has difficulty in being born:
Hephaestus, the blacksmith of the gods, was the master of fire and its operationsa metallurgist, a craftsman:
Physician and analytical psychologist, now professor at Fribourg U., Switzerland. (No relation of C. G. Jung.)

Another favourite theriomorphic image is that of the two birds or two dragons, (fig. 001.3) , one of them winged, the other wingless. This allegory comes from an ancient text, De Chemia Senioris antiquissimi philosophi libellus. The wingless bird or dragon prevents the other from flying. They stand for Sol and Luna, brother and sister, who are united by means of the art
Kenosis is a Greek word meaning “emptying.” This theme comes out of the idea that, in the course of the month, the moon darkens as she approaches the sun. The thought was that she voluntarily empties herself of her light and pours it into the sun
Multiple luminosities may be understood as follows:
The Eye of God is the same image, the same phenomenon, [as the multiplicity of eyes], except now it has been unified, it's not a multiplicity. It refers to the experience of being seen and known by an other in the unconscious. The Eye of God is a particularly important image in Egyptian religion. Rundle Clark has this to say:

The king is a major image in the collective psyche, and that is why it gets such a large consideration in Mysterium Coniunctionis. It is not an image that comes up often in work with American patients because the American psyche does not characteristically have the image of the king in it. America was born in rebellion against kingship. (That will be an essay for somebody to write some daythe psychological significance of that fact for the American psyche.) But that doesn't mean that we're free of the archetype; it just means it takes on different clothing. For Americans, in most cases, the image comes up as the image of the president, or sometimes chairman of the board. But the same archetypal content lies behind those imagesit is still the king by any other name:

The next material is a continuation of the imagery of the king's transformation. We have a text from Trismosin's Splendor solis that takes up this theme. I shall order all my remarks around it:
Jung states that a lot of material indicates that Adam was associated with primal wisdom and was also, in some alchemical material, thought to be the first alchemist. It is even thought that he brought the Philosophers' Stone out of Paradise. There is a very interesting story in the Kabbalah about Adam's book of wisdom and Jung alludes to it in CW14: par. 572 :
The transference / counter-transference may be understood as follows:
Another major theme continued throughout Aion is the double aspect of Christ:
Gnostic tradition says that when the highest God saw what miserable, unconscious creatures these human beings were whom the demiurge had created, who were not even able to walk upright, he immediately got the work of redemption under way:
