Exploring the symbolic significance of various animals, Barbara Hannah draws on C.G. Jung's insights to delve into the deep connection between animals and the human psyche. She argues that animals embody a "divine" aspect of humanity, living in harmony with nature's hidden order and possessing an innate understanding of the unconscious. This perspective positions animals as superior beings, guided by their own intrinsic laws that transcend human concepts of morality. The lectures illuminate the profound relationship between humans and the animal world.
