When we shut ourselves off from who we truly are inside, we also shut out all that is bright and beautiful within us. We pursue perfection and come up empty even after we attain it, because wholeness and perfection are dialectically opposed. Wholeness is about embracing every part of our being, including parts of us which we repress, because that is the first step towards change. It’s about seeking out the darkness we deny so we can use our light to rise above it. And it’s about listening to the fears we succumb to, so we can use our wisdom to work through them and finally let them go. Carl Jung is known for having said, “I'd rather be whole, than good.” Inspiration for this theme comes from the teachings of Carl Gustav Jung regarding the Shadow Self aspect and the topic of being whole.
'Embracing Your Wholeness' comes in 10 ever-to-exist editions, exclusively on Known Origin. If you admire this piece, I invite you to check my profile and see the rest of my portfolio.
