Carl Jung On Inner Awakening
May Osiris, the ruler of the afterlife, bless this young man with divine guidance as he embarks on a journey to uncover the hidden treasures of his soul. Carl Jung On Inner Awakening shows the importance of revealing ourselves to ourselves.
I yearn to embrace the fullness of life — to traverse the world’s tapestry, to weave masterpieces born of passion, and yet, my heart quivers at the thought of scrutiny, causing me to cower in the shadows and fabricate obstacles as shields. Yet if the divine realm resides within, should we not aspire to transcend our limitations and soar towards the sublime? Ought we not to embark on a quest to unearth a novel facet of our being, and vow to unveil a self hitherto unseen? Carl Jung On Inner Awakening says:
“The unlived life is a sickness which can cause death.”
Is it not our eternal pursuit to transcend our limitations and strive towards the pinnacle of our being, to embody the perfect man? Yet, I find myself grappling with faith and struggling to trust in the divine gifts bestowed upon me. I have witnessed young, brilliant minds succumb to their own disbelief, reducing their art to mere entertainment or monetary gain, forsaking the potential for cultural nourishment. It is a battle, an age-old struggle, between Osiris and Set, Hercules and Hades, Christ and Satan, waged against the insidious forces of mediocrity that seek to destroy and distract, rather than elevate and enlighten our collective consciousness. Carl Jung wonderfully weaves together our divine mission saying:
But the supreme meaning is the path, the way and the bridge to what is to come. That is the God yet to come. It is not the coming God himself, but his image which appears in the supreme meaning. God is an image, and those who worship him must worship him in the image of the supreme meaning.
Through unwavering devotion, I have discovered serenity amidst the tempestuous tides of life. Countless tears have been shed in trepidation of an uncertain future. Whether it be the fear of financial destitution, the struggle to overcome addiction, or the pursuit of love. Yet, it is the arduous journey along the winding, tumultuous path — one that demands discipline, solitude, and introspection — that leads us to the gates of paradise. Though fraught with bends, twists, dips, circles, and intersections, we must remain steadfast in our journey towards the core of our being. As the great Carl Jung once said:
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Jung believed that nature was not simply a physical realm, but also a symbolic and psychological realm that could reveal important truths about the human psyche.
Jung saw nature as a manifestation of the collective unconscious. A shared repository of archetypal images and symbols that are present in all cultures and across time. Jung also saw nature as a source of healing and renewal. He believed that spending time in nature could help individuals reconnect with their essential selves. And overcome psychological blockages and traumas.
At the same time, Jung recognized that nature could also be dangerous and unpredictable. And he cautioned against idealizing nature as a purely benevolent force. He believed that humans had a responsibility to respect and care for the natural world. And he warned that the destruction of nature could have dire consequences for human well-being.
Overall, Jung’s opinion on nature was complex and multifaceted. Reflecting his deep understanding of the human psyche and his belief in the interconnectedness of all things. Continue with Muata Ashby believing Yoga can enlighten us.
