Individuation
This is the essence of what I learned from Dr. Carl Jung: Listen to your interior intelligence, take it seriously, stay true to it, and -- most importantly -- approach it with a religious attitude. The psychological term for this is individuation, discovering the uniqueness of yourself, finding out what are and are not. It is your particular relationship to everything else. You get to the whole only by working through the particularity of your life, not by trying to evade or rise above it. This is a truly religious life.

For all that I have learned from you, Mr Johnson over the past 20+ years, many many thanks. Your words of practical application have made it possible for me to trust and live my interior life. You have been a quite, brilliant, luminus companion on my journey through your many books, giving me courage to believe in the process, and validity to my actions. Ruth
