Translation from "Mysterium Coniunctionis" by Carl Jung: D.M. Aelia Laelia Crispis, Neither man nor woman, nor mongrel, nor maid, nor boy, nor crone, nor chaste, nor whore, nor virtuous, but all. Carried away neither by hunger, nor by sword, nor by poison, but by all. Neither in heaven, nor in earth, nor in water, but everywhere is her resting place. Lucius Agatho Priscius, Neither husband, nor lover, nor kinsman, neither mourning, nor rejoicing, nor weeping, [raised up] neither mound, nor pyramid, nor tomb, but all. He knows and knows not [what] he raised up to whom. This is a tomb that has no body in it. This is a body that has no tomb round it. But body and tomb are the same. Perhaps coincidentally, there are two species of orchid named laelia crispa ("a popular summer flower whose white and purple blooms are large and fragrant, with ruffled petals and lips") and laelia crispilabia ("purple or pale magenta flowers"). Orgia - orgies, but also in the more classical sense; an act of devotion. Early Greeks used the words "orgia" and "mysteria" (mysteries of faith) interchangably. Eros - Roman god of erotic love. In psychoanalysis, Eros is the insatiable pleasure-seeking instinct; the urge to life. Thanatos - Roman god of death. In psychoanalysis, Thanatos is the self-destructive instinct that urges us to stay in our proverbial coffins. Atman - the great ultimate being of the RG...er...Rig Veda. The original meaning of the word was "breath" or "soul" or "vital principle" (cf. German "Atmen"). Atman is the universal spirit. But more interestingly: "In the Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad, Atman is explicitly called a Person that created the universe by first splitting himself into male and female halves." Aprodite - a Germanic variation of "Aphrodite," the Greek goddess of erotic love.
