entirely freed

«In the “furnace of the cross” and in the fire, says the “Aquarium sapientum,” “man, like the earthly gold, attains to the true black Raven’s Head; that is, he is utterly disfigured and is held in derision by the world, and this is not only for forty days and nights, or years, but often for the whole duration of his life; … Through this spiritual death his soul is entirely freed."» - Jung, Mysterium coniunctionis, pp. 353-354.
