The soul is not just some warm sentiment that we carry around in us to be taken out at need and otherwise ignored. She, too, requires relatedness—to one's inner world. She, too, requires something of a man's time and effort. When he ignores her, she rises in wrath. Anima comes charging with his own sword in hand and threatens to run him through. She upsets his life, creates obsessions and neuroses, and finds her way into the projections and upheavals of romantic love. Anima, with sword in hand, is a dangerous being, capable of leaving a trail of destruction in her path. But anima, like Iseult, will make peace. If we go in search of her, if we treat her as an equal, if we seek her world and her wisdom, she will make peace and she will open up to us her inner world.
