Afternoon Mindfulness ~XXVI~
10/1/22 “Whenever we touch nature we get clean. People who have got dirty through too much civilisation take a walk in the woods, or a bath in the sea. Entering the unconscious, entering yourself through dreams, is touching nature from the inside and this is the same thing, things are put right again.” ~ C.G. […]

The Art of Inner Work ~I~
What is it I shall do? Tell you more about my inner matters? Shall I overcome the daimon of my interior? Is it the hundred-headed dragon? I have to bid silence to all these voices that want to hinder me, that want to block the way with painful mockery. Otherwise I won’t cut through. Is […]
