English term or phrase: lavishing mother

Un citat din Jung.

The best cannot be told and the second best does not strike home. One must be able to let things happen. I have learned from the East what is meant by the phrase "wu wei": namely, "not doing, letting be", which is quite different from doing nothing. Some Occidentals, also, have known what this not-doing means; for instance, Meister Eckhart, who peaks of "sich lassen", "to let oneself be". The region of darkness into which one falls is not empty; it is the ***"lavishing mother"*** of Lao-Tzu, the "images" and the "seed". When the surface has been cleared, things can grow out of the depths. Poeple always suppose they have lost their way when they come up against the depths of experience.

Mulţumesc anticipat pentru orice sugestie. :)

Abundenta conceptului de "Mama"

Explanation:
In acest context, pot spune cu suficienta siguranta ca nu e vorba de mama lui, ci de un concept abstract, folosit intens de Lao Tzu in scrierile sale, precum si in legendele legate de el. Ideile lui au urmarit concepte abstracte, intangibile, si a facut multe referiri la univers, cosmos, si in acest sens, despre oameni, cultura, educatie, politica samd.

In textul citat, cred ca Jung se refera la abundenta in care Lao Tzu foloseste ideea de "Mama", si multitudinea de sensuri pe care acest cuvant il primeste, in functie de contextul in care e folosit. Asadar, ideea de "Mama" ar putea semnifica "mama universului", acel "ceva" din care insusi Universul a luat nastere. Am gasit un citat din scrierile lui care ti-ar putea fi de folos in acest sens:

"(Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth;
(Conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things"

sau

"Non-existence is called the antecedent of heaven and earth; Existence is the mother of all things."
