“Man’s task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious. Neither should he persist in his unconsciousness, not remain identical with the unconscious elements of his being THUS EVADING HIS DESTINY, which is to create more and more consciousness. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” (Carl Jung)
Evolution is no longer a passive process. We have to choose to better ourselves and actively put in the work.
The journey inward is solo, but it still takes a village. We learn from each other, we are products of environment and our environments are overwhelmingly social.
