In retirement now, Sweetwater has set aside a portion of her days writing a six-episode film spin-off Jett Durango series titled Jett Durango Rides Again: The Lost Episodes.
Sweetwater, since the beginning of time, has used Jung's inner imagery and primordial images in both her personal life and her writing where she incorporates the collective unconscious into highly visual scenes.
Sweetwater is also using her own personal tarot cards she designed, Tarot by Sage, building yet another concept of the tarot to write the kick-ass lesbian western streaming TV Jett Durango episodes. Ironically, Sweetwater designed the tarot cards from her lesbian novel Blue Corn Woman. It shows just how interconnected everything is. Already, she has incorporated cinematic visions from several of the tarot cards, one in particular focusing on bees. It has livened a rather interesting plot that is highly cinematic scenery in the series. Sweetwater points out that many archetypes are story characters. In the Jett Durango film storylines and TV series, there are the Dark Ones from the dark side of religion, there are the Animal Archetypes, namely horses representing humanity's relationship with loyal helper animals, there are the Tricksters who throw obstacles in the path, and there is the Hermaphrodite, both male and female, who represents the union of opposites, all of these important ideas in Jung's theory. In religious art, jesus is presented as rather feminine, and finally, the Self, which is the ultimate unity of the personality, symbolized by the circle, the cross, and the mandala figures that Jung was fond of painting, which also appear in the same form in Sweetwater's tarot illustrations tending to draw Sweetwater aficionados to the center, in full support, amassing her popularity.
The key dynamics of Jett Durango rides with a philosophy just as Jung believed, the dynamics of the psyche regarding the principle of opposites, in order to have a concept of good, there must be a concept of bad, just like you can't have up without down, or black without white.
Through Jett Durango, Sweetwater's late 1800s alter ego and nowadays spiritual guru to many, Sweetwater is making the unconscious conscious through an inexhaustible knowledge of religion, mythology, and philosophy bringing it into the old west.
