We can choose not to involve ourselves in
shadow work. We can buy more stuff, eat
more, drink more, shop more, swap one
relationship for another. There is a plethora
of outer world distractions to assuage
our pain and feelings that we are missing
something important. Yes, ourselves!
Even money, success or power can only
temporarily satisfy, but all eventually
becomes empty when we do not establish a
relationship between our ego and our Self.
The Transpersonal Center —
The Self
“There is in the unconscious a
transpersonal center of latent
consciousness and obscure intentionality.
The discovery of this center, which Jung
called the Self, is like the discovery of
extraterrestrial intelligence. Man is no
longer alone in the psyche and in the
cosmos. The vicissitudes of life take on new
and enlarged meaning. Dreams, fantasies,
illness, accident and coincidence become
potential messages from the unseen
partner within whom we share our life.”
— Edward F. Edinger, Preface, Encounter
With the Self
