“The ego-conscious personality is only a part of the whole man, and its life does not yet represent his total life. … Since everything living strives for wholeness, the inevitable one-sidedness of our conscious life is continually being corrected and compensated by the universal human being in us, whose goal is the ultimate integration of conscious and unconscious, or better, the assimilation of the ego to a wider personality.”

This means that all of our emotions and beliefs are still there even if we decide to ignore them in the moment. They don’t leave us. They stay within us but become invisible to us. In mythology, this is represented by the Greek god Hades, or the Roman god Pluto, who wore a helmet that made him invisible to mortals.

“Projection? You project. I am objective. I observe.” That’s our ego talking to us or someone else. The actuality is our ego develops slowly in increments and is often barricaded behind a belief that it is the center of our psyche and that it always knows who we are and what our motives are.

Our relationships are probably the best training grounds for wholeness that we can possibly encounter. It is hard, if not impossible, to see yourself in a vacuum all by yourself.

Using smoke for rituals is something all cultures across the world have in common. Either to get closer to Spirit, cleanse negative energy or provide blessings. Some of the most ancient human records reference smoke cleansing and ritual. No matter where you’re from or how you grew up, it’s deeply entwined in your ancestry.

Spring is an exciting time of year. Trees and gardens sprout new growth. Students catch spring fever and play hooky. The rest of us go into a frenzy of spring cleaning. Like our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents before us, we clear out closets, pack winter clothes away, clean windows and contemplate the garage.

When the calendar flips, it’s time.
If you’re unattached romantically, it’s time to open to a new love. Unfortunately, that’s hard to do if you’re obsessing over a former flame.

All progress and growth stop when we cannot forgive. Our bodies, minds, and spirits come to a standstill – cycling through passed events over and over with no solution. This is a touchy subject and is much easier said than done. The traumas people have endured, especially over the last year, must not be belittled, but validated, processed, and released.

We all want to be happy. In fact, happiness is our true nature. Happiness is a constant, like Primordial Energy. It is always there, like the sun, which is always shining. Sometimes clouds block the view, but when the wind blows or the heat of the sun’s rays dissolves the obstruction, we see and feel its light shining once again.

Our entire lives, we’ve relied on these sources to gauge morality & social cues. However, one thing always stood firm and clear: our PERSONAL normal should not be held to the standards of another person’s normal without educated critical thinking, research, and honest self-expression.
