Thought

Famed psychologist Carl Jung proposed that there is a shared unconscious among all humans, made up of archetypes and universal symbols inherited from our ancestors:

The collective unconscious is like a deep ocean, full of life and mystery. It is the realm of the gods and the ancestors, the place where the past and the future meet. It is a source of wisdom and guidance, a map of the soul that can help us navigate the complexities of life.

— Carl Jung, The Red Book

Quote

Writer and professor Joseph Campbell on surrender:

"We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

Meditation of the Day

Thich Nhat Hanh’s simple “In-Out” exercise:

Breathing in, I calm my body.

Breathing out, I smile.

Dwelling in the present moment.

I know this is a wonderful moment!

Happy Monday,
