your unconscious' control


“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
- Carl Jung

For many, the Pursuit of the Authentic Life requires deep introspection to discover what lives in the subconscious and has been writing the script for their lives.

The more you connect with your Authentic Self, the more your unconscious becomes conscious, helping you first understand why you find your Self where you are and what is missing from your life, and allowing you to begin rewriting the stories living in your unconscious.

We are not told how our experiences growing up, the people in our lives, and the narratives we inherit shape our lives without our knowing. It is usually later in life, around forty, as Jung also pointed out, that discontentment begins to force us to unravel these narratives and understand how our unconscious has been guiding us.

Don’t be afraid of what you might discover as you explore your unconscious narratives. Be excited about what is on the other side of your understanding of them.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

We all created.We all created what we wanted.We followed our interests.We stopped doing what lost our interest. Having Silas join me for a podcast episode probably won't land AlignedLife at the top of Apple Podcasts, but that’s okay...

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don’t appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always...

I hope you had a great weekend; if you're here in the States (so cool that this is an international publication now) I hope you had a safe and family-filled Fourth of July holiday weekend. Ours was very low-key. Tons of time in the pool. World Cup on the TV or iPad to watch outside.Cooking out.And sadly, the boys were off doing their own things — Leo at Indiana University for soccer camp, Roman hanging out with his friends, and Silas even bailed on us for a few hours on the Fourth to be with...
