Sydney Solis interviews Japan specialist Steve McCarty during her most recent sojourn in #Japan. He summarizes a #legend of a #woman #diver and explains its ancient #history, wholly based on original source research in #Japanese. Then both authors interpret its rich #symbolism in terms of depth #psychology. Among their conclusions is that #archetypes in the story, such as the #divine #feminine, activated by the natural #symbolism of #diving into the depths, could help #heal our modern alienation of the #mind from the #body and #nature.
