What I think C[ircles] A[nalysis &] S[ynthesis] is trying to do – what I am trying to do with C[ircles] A[nalysis &] S[ynthesis] – is to apply conscious thought to a pattern perceived in the unconscious mind.

The choice of words is deliberately ambiguous: intended not to predetermine the question as to whether the pattern perceived exists in some way in the actual (‘objective’) World.

But I sometimes think – I sometimes think that the whole thing is a load of twaddle, which is a perspective necessary from time to time; now, though, I wonder whether what I am doing is drawing up a pattern of the unconscious mind which conscious thought does not have the capacity fully to comprehend in all its relations, particularly with the actual World: and that being so, whether the necessary next thing is, having noted it, to put it back again into the Unconscious, to do its integrating and liberating work.
