Changes

The [[male ]] component of the [[unconscious ]] [[female ]] [[psyche ]] . Like the anima ([[Eros]]), but he personifies "spirit" and "intellect" ([[Logos]]). His [[negative ]] aspect gives a [[woman ]] her [[irrational ]] convinctions and opinions. He's usually plural because [[women ]] focus on one man only in [[conscious ]] relationships. He also compensates the basic female faculty for [[unity]]. He seems to [[lack ]] the anima's historical quality and is more concerned with [[present ]] and [[future]], which [[Jung ]] saw as a [[compensation ]] (it's women who [[think ]] more [[about ]] roots, the [[past]], etc.)--but in his deepest qualities he is as [[history]]-oriented as the anima. He evolves through four [[stages]]: the [[physical ]] man, the romantic man or man of [[action]], the bearer of the [[word]], and the wise spiritual [[guide]].
