Fainting

  • appears in the unconscious especially when personifications of two levels clash (e.g. the emotional anima faints from fear of a creature: a clash of the instinctual and emotional level; or the emotional anima faints from hunger – clash of the emotional and spiritual level).
  • with loss of consciousness: an experience that entails a complex process described in detail in the UFO – Initiation Ceremonies archetype.
  • as an accompanying phenomenon to an epileptic seizure: a clash of instinctual and spiritual personifications or experiences without the presence of emotional components of the psyche; this phenomenon is described in the UFO – Initiation Ceremonies archetype.
