The path of Art is distinguished from the process of inhibition of alchemy religious instincts contemplated by the fact that originate from the potential psychological introversion regressive (melancholy) to reduce the instincts, impulses and moderate "tame" the libido rational ( the Virgin tames the unicorn).
The perception introverted, transmitted in the Middle Ages by the religious model of the Virgin, induced awareness of psychic reality guilty to generate chaos, destruction and violence, but this was not enough to channel the libido of a genuine desire for goodness, beauty and justice , inspired more by the Neo-Platonic philosophy that by Catholic morality.
The archetype of the Virgin religious modeled by the unconscious is a psychological function can orient towards desires for social purposes, but it was the emancipation of the female psyche by the ties imposed by collective rationality to be re-born in the "symbolic function" , defined by Jung as an apparatus for conversion of libido in egocentric sense of self (soul function) and awareness of relationship (function animus).
The symbolic function does not originate from mechanisms of inhibition of sexual energy and creative, but as a response of the psyche of the demon raid Eros, for which the sensations, emotions and feelings generate fantasies, images and thought-forms (analogies, metaphors and allegories) soaked symbol of the transformation of the erotic drive into a desire to know the face of love and, in full, the face of the truth.
The process of integration of the psychic contents could end at this point except that the archetype of Aphrodite, the divinity that activates the regulatory functions of the psyche and transcendent, lead to a further sublimation process described with wisdom in the story "Cupid and Psyche "Apuleius, often represented by artists of the Renaissance as a model of understanding and illumination of the process of alchemy.
Aphrodite submit the princess Psyche four "deadly tests" in order to enable the transformation of unconscious perception through the framework of intuitive consciousness in which you can experience the transcendent function, or the integration of unconscious contents inhibited or repressed from consciousness and discarded rational ego.
Only if subjected to some degree of stress, introversion creative emotions becomes regressive and illuminates the "Melancholia" which has in itself the "hallucinatory ability to understand the deeper meaning of things."
The artists of the Renaissance alchemists-the transcendent function differed depending on whether the melancholia was caused by psychic conflict (Nigredo phase function), the emotional distress (Rubedo phase function) or mood oscillation due to the emergence of intuitive content (Albedo phase function).
Whenever the sublime emotions of the heart begin to emerge the characteristic products of fantasy, imagination and creative inspiration that describe the gradual unfolding of the transcendent function through cognitive and creative abilities of the two hemispheres of the brain. According to modern neuroscience biochichico the whole phenomenon of transfer of stress physical, sensory and intuitive in images occurs in three glands that make up the limbic system: the amygdala, hypothalamus and thalamus. This process, stimulating the sensitivity to variation of intensity, amplitude and frequency modulation of light (luminescence), is the foundation of the Art of Aphrodite says that the uniqueness of each perceptual experience that allows the heart to find the '"intimacy" with any particular event in a pluralistic universe.
Each artist initially unfolds its specific 'transcendent function' along lines of development that depend on personal experiences, and then come together in a universal way to experience the symbolic perception that leads to the vision of the Self Witness (Elixir) which becomes active function superconscious (the Philosopher's Stone).
