    Male down below, but trying not to repress my anima(female)side.

    Levels of anima development

    Jung believed anima development has four distinct levels, which he named Eve, Helen, Mary and Sophia. In broad terms, the entire process of anima development in a male is about the male subject opening up to emotionality, and in that way a broader spirituality, by creating a new conscious paradigm that includes intuitive processes, creativity and imagination, and psychic sensitivity towards himself and others where it might not have existed previously. [citation needed]

    [edit] Eve

    The first is Eve, named after the Genesis account of Adam and Eve. It deals with the emergence of a male's object of desire.

    [edit] Helen

    The second is Helen, in allusion to Helen of Troy in Greek mythology. In this phase, women are viewed as capable of worldly success and of being self-reliant, intelligent and insightful, even if not altogether virtuous. This second phase is meant to show a strong schism in external talents (cultivated business and conventional skills) with lacking internal qualities (inability for virtue, lacking faith or imagination).

    [edit] Mary

    The third phase is Mary, named after the Christian theological understanding of the Virgin Mary (Jesus' mother). At this level, females can now seem to possess virtue by the perceiving male (even if in an esoteric and dogmatic way), in as much as certain activities deemed consciously unvirtuous cannot be applied to her.

    [edit] Sophia

    The fourth and final phase of anima development is Sophia, named after the Greek word for wisdom. Complete integration has now occurred, which allows females to be seen and related to as particular individuals who possess both positive and negative qualities. The most important aspect of this final level is that, as the personification "Wisdom" suggests, the anima is now developed enough that no single object can fully and permanently contain the images to which it is related.

    I always thought you were a female, frankiespeakin.

    Guess I should start looking at the little pink and blue emblems on everybodies name.

    BTW - I never could remember with the old southern opera "Frankie and Johnnie" which one was the guy.

    James,

    Interesting, maybe I'm integrating both sides better than I thought?

    Interesting thought where the name Hillary Step comes from

    Hillary Step

    The Hillary Step is a nearly vertical rock face, 40 ft high on Mount Everest, located approximately 28,840 feet above sea level. It is located on the South East ridge, halfway between the "South Summit" and the true summit and is the last real challenge before reaching the top of the mountain via the South East route. The Step was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who was the first person, along with Tenzing Norgay, to scale it on the way to the summit.

    Yes, that was the very reason.

    I remember that he was VERY outspoken about Iran having a perfect right to a nuclear weapons program.
