I notice that my discovery of Archetypes on the C[ircles] A[nalysis] & S[ynthesis] pattern fell naturally into the period-doubling sequence, eg from 4-8, and indeed (in the first draft of [0], called ‘The Gift’) from 2-4.* If I take this back to juvenile ** experiences of the inner presence of Christ*** – so strong that at times my undeveloped awareness found difficulty in distinguishing the Archetype from the Self, which in the relatively pure and innocent Child may not be insignificant (ie, 

(1) C is the perfected self and 

(2) Awareness of a C which both is and is not self may indicate the separation of the qualities of the maturing self away from C) 

– that can be taken as the first doubling. 

There is an interesting shift, though, in that in The Gift +M appears first (if my memory is correct), as the ‘hero’, +C later, +K and +Mk later still as twins; whereas in [0] +C is first, +M soon after, then +K,**** his twin, finally +Mk – a more conventional approach, but still not strictly ‘period doubling’:

*[ie presumably 2 archetypes, then 4, then 8]

**{‘Juvenile’ – continuing much later than one would expect, as a distinction difficulty: up to and even, I think, overlapping with the beginning of creative writing (age c[irca]17) although I found it embarrassing to admit to myself at the time}

***recalled in III []

****[‘inwardly’, yes; but outwardly, +Mk before +K. This might have changed since this ts journal entry was written, although that is unlikely]
