The Divine child (n.) approaches ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠out of terrible ambiguity — the hateful-beautiful, the evil-good, the laughable-serious, the ungodly-godly.

The Divine child (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the eternally springing youth one feels within: from its hand comes everything unexpected, everything living.

The Divine child (n.) or ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠child motif represents the preconscious, childhood aspect of the collective psyche — not a vestigial memory of one's own childhood.

The Divine child (n.) as ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the Christ Child is a religious necessity only so long as most men cannot give psychological reality to "Except ye become as little children."

The Divine child (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the redeeming symbol itself — childlikeness or the absence of prior assumptions is of its very essence — and it is born when least expected, in the most improbable place.

The Divine child (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠what arises when the blind creative libido is transformed in man through individuation: a reborn God no longer dispersed into millions of creatures, one and the same in you as in me — born in many individuals who don't know it.
