Love at first sight is an example of anima and animus projection.

Elsewhere, a parallel can be seen in the Jungian concept of the anima and animus.

The third stage is meeting still other components of psychic - called Anima and Animus.

See anima and animus or shadow.

In his book Mysterium Coniunctionis Jung made some important final remarks about anima and animus:

Nigel recalled Blake's notion of the ideal human: Male and female somehow blended in the same body, anima and animus united, entwined.

In Carl Jung's school of analytical psychology, the anima and animus are the two primary anthropomorphic archetypes of the unconscious mind.

Next to appear would be the Anima and Animus, the soul-image, which again, by a kind of psychological short-cut, may be taken as identical to the whole Self.

The anima and animus can be identified as the totality of the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a male possesses or the masculine ones possessed by the female, respectively.

The anima and animus are described by Jung as elements of his theory of the collective unconscious, a domain of the unconscious that transcends the personal psyche.

Although only alluded to, Gaiman suggests that Rose Psychic and Richard Occult represent anima and animus, feminine and masculine versions of the same person.

Vincent says that Finnegan was the third person in our marriage, sometimes inhabiting him, and more often me; that Finnegan was both Anima and Animus to us.

This point of view differed from Freud's theory that homosexuality is rooted in narcissism or Jung's view of expressions of contrasexuality vis-à-vis the archetypes of the Anima and Animus.

Jung stated that the anima and animus act as guides to the unconscious unified Self, and that forming an awareness and a connection with the anima or animus is one of the most difficult and rewarding steps in psychological growth.

This poise at the knife edge, on the tightrope across a chasm, at the fulcrum, is what made Paul Giver and Taker, anima and animus, Yin and Yang, male and female, Decider and Decided, Reconciler of Opposites.

But the composer's first inspiration for the work was visual: Tippett recalled imagining "a wooded hill-top with a temple, where a warm and soft young man was being rebuffed by a cold and hard young woman to such a degree that the collective, magical archetypes take charge - Jung's anima and animus."

The anima and animus, in Carl Jung's school of analytical psychology, are the two primary anthropomorphic archetypes of the unconscious mind, as opposed to both the theriomorphic and inferior-function of the shadow archetypes, as well as the abstract symbol sets that formulate the archetype of the Self.
