Hello, here is today’s quote and comment. The photo was taken while camping a number of years ago.

“The entity we’re seeking union with is ourselves. We’re trying to connect with our true being, our soul, our Self.”

- Steven Pressfield

Comment: The only thing that gets in the way of our connection with Higher Power, soul, Self is ourselves. We are born into this union with life and one day about the time we begin to notice we are not part of our mother’s body any longer we start to feel separate. This can be upsetting to the young child but it is also part of human development. We unlearn our unity with life. According to David Ulancy this a normal and even necessary part of human evolution. And so is the re-membering of our oneness with all life. This often happens at mid-life. For some, those who have experienced trauma or challenges where we thought we were dying that process of re-membering our oneness with all life can start at the time of that initiatory event. Carl Jung called it individuation because we leave the aloneness of culture to find our own way back to Self and Oneness. We learn that the world is not separate from oneness it is a both/and phenomenon. Blessings all 🦋
