This transpersonal partner that is living
within us, guides us when we seek guidance,
as well as ignoring us when we don’t. If our

ego believes what we know about ourselves
is all there is, then we are separate from our

inner source. Our task therefore is to begin a
direct dialogue with this internal partner that
Carl Jung called the Self, the imago dei (God

Within). In Answer to Job, Jung described this
as a profoundly psychological experience,

not as a metaphysical deity. Irrespective of
religion, race, dogma or creed, this interior
source is the same for everyone.

We develop this relationship with the Self by

recording our dreams, journaling, using active
imagination and taking shadow work seriously.
Synchronicities and messages from this inner

partner start happening that bring untold joy as
we will know without a doubt we are connected.

Then our ethics, moral behavior, our desire for
the good is not because an “ism” tells us this
is what we should conform to in order to be

accepted by society. We have more than that, as
now we have our own experience of God within.

Nothing in the material world and no one can
take that away from us.

You will also discover that the God image
is an antimony (has a dark and light side).

Paradoxically, as it says in the Bible, it rains
on the just and the unjust. We become aware
that it can interfere with us any time it wants

to, especially if we are choosing to remain
unconscious. It behooves us to allow this part

of us to lead by subordinating our ego to this
transpersonal center.
