"The saying of Maria Prophetissa is: One becomes two, two becomes three, and out of the third comes the one as the fourth." When Jung first spoke to me of the prophecy, when I was at Kusnacht with Jerome in 1953, I showed him a color photograph reproduced in Life magazine of the life-cell division, and I asked if it wasn't like the saying of Maria. "Yes," he answered, "only the reverse."
