DUALISTIC DILEMMA

Two souls, alas, are housed within my breast and each will wrestle for THE mastery there.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote from the play FAUST

REFLECTION:

  • Many are challenged by dualistic dilemmas between spiritual longing and desires – aspirations, drive, material wealth, things.
  • Do you wrestle with two souls(selfs)? Which one do you feed?
  • Is that working for you?

OUTGROW…

All the greatest and most important problems of life are fundamentally insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown….      

Source: Collected Works of C.G. Jung

REFLECTION:

  • What insoluble problems are you facing now?
  • Are you looking for a recipe to fix a life problem… Want to have it figured out…have answers and action steps?
  • What if this dilemma is calling you to grow?
  • Is there an important life problem that you realize you have outgrown?  What is it? Can it serve as a model for you going forward?
