All times are changing times, but ours is one of massive, rapid moral and mental transformation. archetypes turn into millstones, large simplicities get complicated, chaos becomes elegant, and what everybody knows is true turns out to be what some people used to think.

All Times Are Changing Times, But Ours

Ursula K. Le Guin

More From Ursula K. Le Guin

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
Kings Children Night
The seven deadly sins... food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. nothing can lift those seven millstones from man's neck but money; and the spirit cannot soar until the millstones are lifted.
Money Children Men
There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.
Inspirational Wise Wisdom
"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

Jung said there are four archetypes adults go through, and these archetypes are reflected in the development of my work. the first archetype is the archetype of the athlete, reflecting the time in our adult life when our primary emphasis is on our body - what it looks like, how beautiful it is, how strong it is, and so on. we identify ourselves with our body. we are our body. growing adults next move to what jung called the archetype of the warrior. we take our physical bodies out there to do what warriors do.

The rate of change is global now. i think there's a kind of mind that is so ill at ease with that transformation that it reaches out for something permanent. and religious faith offers that, from simplicities, which you are told are eternal and unchanging, and you can hold on to those like a life raft in a metamorphosing world.
