Jonah and the whale - It happened!

And then there is Jonah. He provides an example of the storms sent by the unconscious and their consequent archetypal reconstellation in the whale when prophetic calling is evaded (Jonah 1-2). Jeremiah had similarly tried to evade his initial calling, protesting to God that he was only a boy (Jeremiah 1:6). Isaiah’s initial excuse was his unworthiness being a man of unclean lips (Isaiah 6:5). And Moses in prophetic reluctance protested disability, complaining: I have never been eloquent ... I am slow of speech and slow of tongue (Exodus 4:10).
