DE ALVARENGA, Maria Zelia. Rites of passage and dynamics of consciousness. Junguiana [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.1, pp. 183-196. ISSN 2595-1297.

The text focuses on describing the seven main rites of passage that occurred with humans, concomitantly with the seven different transformations of consciousness patterns named as: uroboric, Great Mother, God Father, Encounter or Coniunctio, Communication, of the Future Preview and finally of the Totality. The rites of passage explain moments of overcoming-transgressions of interdictions, with which the human being reaches new lifetimes, and their respective dynamics of consciousness, arising from intrinsic demands of nature. Because of overcoming these heroic moments, we acquire knowledge that is incorporated into the psyche, along with unknown desires, mobilize behaviors to overcome obstacles. The rites of passage are preceded by the experience of death and succeeded by the new lifetime. ■

Keywords : Rites of Passage; The Seven Dynamics of Consciousness; Death and rebirth.
