If You Ignore This, It Will Destroy You

Our conscious attitude is crucial. Those who refuse to pay attention to the unconscious are influenced by it nonetheless, albeit in a negative way. In both cases, one may suffer, but in one case one suffers authentically and grows, while in the other case one suffers neurotically and remains stagnant or withers away. One unites, the other splits. Life leads the willing and drags along the unwilling. It makes a difference whether we say yes to our fate and fulfill it positively, or say no and are dragged by it against our will. The Self or God-image wants to become conscious through us. God wants to incarnate in us, and called or not, God will be present. If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you. - Gospel of Thomas #god #fate #unconscious #psychology #potential #creativity
