NIGHT MOON AUDITORIUM
The auditorium is empty -Inscribed on its inner walls you read the following:

THE FIRST HALF OF THE TEACHING OF NIGHT MOON

THE ARCHETYPES
Can be likened to containers present in the psyche, holding unconscious content. When all this content has been brought to consciousness, enlightenment happens.
There are four archetypes in the unconscious. These are:
The Persona archetype
The Shadow archetype
The Friend archetype
The Enemy archetype

THE PERSONA ARCHETYPE
This carries no content but merely acts as an opposite to the Shadow in the projection process.

THE SHADOW ARCHETYPE
The Shadow reveals itself to the conscious mind through projections. A projection is a mental image of another to which a characteristic is attached.
The Shadow projections are all negative in nature. The most prevalent projection you will come across is the sickness projection. The Shadow holds repressed traits or aspects of ourselves. To become whole and healed we learn how to integrate projections. We achieve this by observing them as they appear in consciousness.

THE FRIEND ARCHETYPE
This holds all those who act positively towards us and are retained in memory.

THE ENEMY ARCHETYPE
This holds all those who act negatively towards us and are retained in memory. Verbal criticisms also belong to this archetype.

NOTE
Neither the content of the friend or enemy archetypes get projected. Instead, they tend to 'hit' consciousness.

THE GROWTH PROCESS
To be whole is to be fulfilled and so we embark on the growth process - the most exciting of adventures...
The growth process is that of ego development. When the unconscious (memory) is emptied of content and the ego is fully developed, enlightenment takes place.
So, with diligence, determination, persistence and also inner certainty we observe the previously unconscious memory material as it appears on the surface of the conscious mind. Thus it has been 'made conscious' and is now part of the ego. With safety in mind we do this in the course of our daily activities whenever possible. The watching of the four archetypes thus becomes a way of life for the religious seeker. One watches the mind as one goes along. This is the healing meditation.

DEALING WITH SICKNESS
The Shadow archetype holds vast quantities of repressed sickness which all needs to be brought to the conscious part of the mind (ego) for healing to take effect.
We transform sickness by observing the many hundreds of sickness projections as they appear in consciousness. You will, with practice, learn to identify them easily as they appear on the surfaces of one's immediate environment.

You leave the auditorium and tread upon the reddened earth observed by a couple of the strange creatures that dwell in these territories. Avoiding the ice deposits you make your way towards a distant cluster of dwelling huts and stores. When you reach them you buy the provisions you require before seeking an Inn to stay for the night. On the outskirts of the industrial centre you come across a man with a mask telling stories to a group of children. He has various sorcerers’ items at hand but appears to also be a news teller. After he has finished speaking to the young group you ask him for the latest news. He responds thus:
“This school represents a radical departure from old-school Jungian psychology which was dreamwork orientated. The simple tenet of this school is “without meditation there is no growth process”. People are drawn to the spiritual path through dis-satisfaction when all is not yet perfect with their lives. This might be brought about by bereavement, being outcast, feelings of unfulfillment, failing bodily functions, dis-satisfactory relations, a lack of peace of mind, a sense of incompleteness in the world, not yet being master of one’s own destiny, sickness, depression or simply the burning desire to know the meaning of life. It is dissatisfaction which draws people to the spiritual path which is now understood to be jungian.”

You leave the scene. Some time later a man, presumably a wizard, walks towards you and says: “Welcome then to Nightmoon’s school of crack Jungian psychology. Cancer can be tackled by emptying the sickness from the shadow archetype of the unconscious. Time will tell whether this approach is successful in transforming cancer cells into healthy cells. Expect results. The crack Jungians will know what they are doing”.
