Summary

How do we navigate the forces within us to make choices that reflect our authentic nature?


Every decision acts as a bridge between the conscious mind and the unconscious depths, connecting archetypal patterns to individual choices that define human experience. Each choice reveals inner conflicts and values, compelling us to confront both personal desires and universal forces within psyche. Decision-making is not merely logical; it is a convergence of intuition, cultural imprint, and raw instinct, calling for integration rather than domination by one mode of thought. In conscious choosing, we engage the teleological process of individuation, bridging the present to the future, where aspects of our potential are realized. Approaching choices as experimental acts of self-creation, we might see each decision as an alchemical process of dissolving the old and coagulating the new.


Prepare to discover what shapes the profound choices that define personal growth, how to balance conscious awareness with instinctual and unconscious influences, which factors align decision-making with a deeper sense of purpose, whether choices arise from authentic self-alignment or external pressures, why integrating intuition and reason fosters true individuation…and so much more.

Thank you. So today we're going to talk about the archetype of the decision, which is a topic that's kind of been sitting on my list for a while. But then we periodically have polls where our patrons get to
