Jamesn,
Thank you for your thought provoking posts. I have read Freud , Jung , Hillman , Joyce , Campbell , et al , for personal edification. My first love is science and Sci-fi.

“ In Jung’s view, the alchemical attempt to transmute base metals into gold (the philosopher’s stone) was actually a psychological process”.
“So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered. Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.”
