"Primal Scene"
[According to Jung. ("Psychological
Commentary" to The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Evans-Wentz edition, p. xiii),
"Freud's theory is the first attempt made in the West to investigate, as if
from below, from the animal sphere of instinct the psychic territory that
corresponds in Tantric Lamaism to the Sidpa Bardo." The vision described
here, in which the person sees mother and father in sexual intercourse,
corresponds to the "primal scene" in psychoanalysis. At this level, then, we
begin to see a remarkable convergence of Eastern and Western psychology.
Note also the exact correspondence to the psychoanalytic theory of the
Oedipus Complex.]
