Hello, here is today’s quote and comment, the photo was taken a year or so ago at sunrise.

December 16

“Either an open or secret vice takes the place of a well-formed activity and gives rise to a disunity of the personality with itself, signifying a moral suffering or a real sickness. Only one way remains to whoever wants to free himself from this suffering: he must accept the repressed part of his soul, he must love his inferiority, even his vices so that what is degenerate can resume development.”

- Carl Jung

Comment: Does that mean that for a chronically ill person that the repressed part of soul is good health? Who knows? Is our illness or pain a vice? Probably not. But we will know nothing if we sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. The only way to gain knowledge and awareness is to move into our illness, move into our pain and explore any possible disharmony we might have with our bodies or our lives. Then love it from every direction it shows to us and keep loving it. Allowing it and us to grow into our full potential. Blessings all♥️
