We know that every time a human being makes real progress in consciousness, makes this evolutionary jump toward a higher level of consciousness, the whole world for him has changed; relationships change & the outlook on the outer world & on his own situation changes.~ML von Franz
One thing Carl Jung wrote about was the importance of integrating the impulse to help without becoming identified with it.
Some people don’t want to be saved.
Some people require a path of suffering to find a light that they wouldn’t have found without it.
When Carl Jung said:
“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you.”
Spending time alone is the perfect way to know how your mental health is going. If you can’t sit still, constant worrying, overthinking, doubts, and fears—you know what you need to work on. Instead of judging, learn to observe, tweak and act as if you are tuning a beautiful piano
So much of my fear was actually religious programming. Shame, suffering, Hell, not being good enough were all constant narratives. I was searching for a God that never left but told I had to find Him. Told I needed to earn Love that was given for free.
Many people push accelerating spiritual awakening through taking substances, but it’s not sustainable. It’s like waking up a black belt, but not remembering any of the moves. Knowledge is nothing without wisdom. Wisdom comes from conscious experience.
