...When things get to their extreme, they turn into their opposite...
...Heraclitus says...
..."cold things warm, warm things cool, wet things dry and parched things get wet."...
...Enantiodromia...
...Literally, "running counter to," referring to the emergence of the unconscious opposite
in the course of time...
...This characteristic phenomenon practically always occurs when an extreme, one-sided tendency
dominates conscious life; in time an equally powerful counterposition is built up, which first
inhibits the conscious performance and subsequently breaks through the conscious control...
...The grand plan on which the unconscious life of the psyche is constructed
is so inaccessible to our understanding that we can never know what evil may not be necessary
in order to produce good by enantiodromia,
...and what good may very possibly lead to evil...
