hese simple people are hunters who live in isolated family groups , so far from one another that they have not been able to evolve tribal customs or collective religious beliefs and ceremonies . In his lifelong solitude the Naskapi hunter has to rely on his own inner voices and unconscious revelations ; he has no religious teachers who tell him what he should believe, no rituals , festivals, or customs to help him along. In his basic view of life , the soul of man is simply an "inner companion, " whom he calls "my friend" or Mista'peo, meaning "Great Man. "
From "Jung - Man and his symbols"
Ah thanks for that reply! Very interesting. Its a big difference to say 'go and see him' and 'its a good time for him to appear'...
That was from the Wilhelm version that I quoted; I'm not sure what people here think of that version, I always thought it was the classic one to have.
It is incorrect to translate daren (大人), the great man, as "the sage."
The daren is more secular. He has political, social or economic standing,
or else is a person of remarkable maturity as a human being.
Shengren (聖人) is the wise, sagacious, reverent or even holy person.
He does not occur in the Zhouyi, but only comes into the Yijing in the Ten Wings,
beginning in the Tuan Zhuan of Gua 04.
