『예루살렘』, 수용과 통합을 향한 사중비전의 신화

Jerusalem: the Myth of the Fourfold Vision for Acceptance and Integration

William Blake is a pilgrim in the spiritual world who constantly seeks the path of self-reflection. Blake throws the stone of imagination, drawing concentric waves in the lake of his heart, and advances to the infinite world. Then he returns to Jerusalem and converges on the spirit of Jesus Christ, the aesthetics of brotherly love and forgiveness. In Jerusalem, Los does not give up his journey of love and continuous forgiveness, even in the midst of his Spectre's curse, Albion's sons, and Vala's obstruction. Los is a humanitarian who practices the spirit of friendship and brotherhood in a selfish spiritual world of division. Through Los and Jesus, Blake shows that “forgiveness through self-sacrifice is the divine spirit.” Jungian process of individuation is explained by Los' acceptance of the shadow, Albion's dramatic division and reconciliation, the unification of the four zoas's emanation (anima), and the encounter with the divine. The divine spirit of continuous forgiveness of sins, like anger, is the archetypal representation of the 'self.' Jungian encounter with his prototype can be understood as Albion's encounter with Jesus Christ in the Blake’s work.
