Jung referred to Eros as a form of knowledge in The Red Book and he wrote of art as maternally creative. His patient and art student Morgan said: I must be mother and that nothing will ever stand between me and the forces which are around me—that I will be eternally alone—looking at these naked things [visions] always unprotected, and then measuring them to the capacity of these several individuals—veiling them and transforming these things that I see to meet the needs of each one—while I see them in the raw. I have the feeling that this may be the real awakening consciousness of women. It makes me feel appallingly alone (Jung, 1997, p. 16).
