Only fresh experience of the Universal Unconscious can release a new cycle of experience. Both forces are important, but each can become a danger. There are times when conservation is needed for survival just as there are times when only a transforming experience can save. The conservative tendency is at work in all forms of tradition and in settings where dogma and authoritative teaching are at issue. It is the nature of groups centered on tradition to preserve the heritage of the past and to keep all things in its orbit.
New experience is anathema to tradition.
Repetition not innovation is the goal. The transformative tendency is at work in the heroic journey pattern. Upon this foundation a strong ego may be founded. The hero is a force to be reckoned with as an individual with a highly developed consciousness. The biblical paradigm of this type of hero is Jesus in Mark Chapters 8-9.
