EMBLEM EIGHT

In the next emblem (figure 11 on page 128), the two birds are devouring each other. In fact, once more the two opposites slay each other in preparation for a new birth. As should be clear by now, there is never a movement to a new stage of individuation without the death of the previous one. Nothing new is gained without the sacrifice of the old. The change from the first coniunctio to the second is no exception, and the death experience at this level of the work is very disconcerting and unpleasant. Indeed, so daunting is the prospect of having to sacrifice what has been gained, some individuals will stop their growth at this point rather than lose what they have already achieved.
