Renowned psychotherapist, Carl Jung, noted towards the end of his life when reviewing thousands of cases he had overseen that a particular theme recurred before healing. Prior to the onset of healing, a high percentage of permanent cures seemed to share the same fundamental dream-image. This image was the universal symbol of the Circle with a Cross inlaid.
Whether it was seen as a design, a circle of friends, or flowers arranged in that pattern, the same archetypal image was evident. It was always associated with re-balance of mental and physical health, and preceded the wholeness that was to come.
One physician whose wife suffered from deep psychosis read of this finding by Jung and decided to try a wild experiment. He cut a large Circle-Cross about four feet in diameter out of plywood, painted it with shining metallic paint and set it in a shaded room with a spotlight on it. He asked his wife to sit comfortably and contemplate the symbol from time to time throughout the day. Within the course of a few months, she was completely cured.
This universal symbol holds properties that appear to return us to our spiritual center and repairs the fabric of our torn or wounded psyche.
