#Discipline is a bad word in our culture. People associate it with having to do what they're told. But discipline is quite a lovely word. It comes from the same root as disciple, and it means seeing yourself through the eyes of the teacher who loves you.

If we enter into it, that chaos can resurrect us into a higher wisdom, rooted in the wisdom of the creative process. The chaos that we fear is the very thing that can free us.

Realizing your humanity in an increasingly inhuman world... #subversivelight #hadeninstitute #carljung #marionwoodman #fairytales
The healing dimension of the #unconscious is available to men and women who are willing to connect with powerful images from poetry, myth, personal dreams and personal experience. Images ignite the body electric that connects us to our inner reality.

I spend at least an hour every day writing in my journal, separating out what is real from what is unreal, what stays, what goes.
… there is no time to waste in false clutter.”

If you've never been here, never been present, I'm sure you'll be terrified of death because your whole life has been an absence.

The #unconscious has treasures that consciousness has no idea of. If you take your own imagery and allow it to transform as it wants, it will go exactly where it needs to be.

These words from Marion Woodman always strike a chord, and in particular, they come to mind as I approach the New Year and reflect on change.
“Change means change. Stark honesty, however painful, is needed... We must be willing to face many cruel truths”
#MarionWoodman
Anyone involved in the soul-making process knows it is bedrock reality. It demands honesty, steadfastness, humility, humor, detachment, the capacity to endure the pain of withdrawing projections. It would have to include faith, love, hope– when there is little reason to hope.

Then love can come to us.
The living god and goddess can enter.
Then we are empowered."

#MARIONWOODMAN ON THE PATH OF INDIVIDUATION
" #Jung calls this the path of #individuation.
This path strips away all facades, false expectations, dead gods.
It ultimately leads into the heart of the impasse where genuine love abides.
Only if you have the courage to be ruthlessly honest with yourself will the veils of illusion be removed, allowing you to meet the Self of your dreams.
– #MarionWoodman, ‘Leaving My Father’s House’

Soul-making is constantly confronting the paradox that an eternal being is dwelling in a temporal body. That’s why it suffers, and learns by heart.
- #MarionWoodman
There is no sense talking about "being true to yourself" until you are sure what voice you are being true to. It takes hard work to differentiate the voices of the unconscious.

Most of us are dragged toward wholeness.

I think the spiritual feminine is practically nonexistent in our culture. People simply do not like the feminine. They are terrified to let go. Into what? Nothingness? So she has to come in the back door, through eating disorders or other addictions.
- #MarionWoodman
So long as one does not cling to another, nor try to possess another, mutual love is the bond, and new depths of personality are released. What gradually emerges is an individual morality in which the inner laws are absolute.”

#MARIONWOODMAN ON THE WONDER OF MODERN LOVE
“For the first time in history, men and women are seriously exploring the possibilities of relationship based on separateness rather than togetherness.
"I trust there is a healing process going on in my unconscious. If I can keep in touch with it, my life flows forward; I constantly open to what I could never have imagined." ~ Marion Woodman, 'Coming Home to Myself', p.276 Art by Autumn Skye

“The body individuates along with the psyche and its messages are as important as the dreams. The body always attempts to preserve the totality”.

If we do not know ourselves, we cannot stand to our own truth and are, therefore, in constant danger of invasion by others.
