Most people choose to live in either the rational or the emotional world.
When we choose one, we kill off its opposite.
This can make life tolerable, but also meaningless.
On rare occasion, those who seek a more meaningful life have to strive in balancing both worlds within their sphere of existence.
This turns life into a meaningful struggle rather than a struggle for meaning.
Doing this is to commit to the highest form of individuation:
To actively choose to integrate emotional passion with rational thought into one's life.
All great minds, thinkers, and innovators undergo this process.
Their unique creation becomes a testament to their individuation journey, representing their efforts to balance opposing psychological forces.
But sadly, too many of us give up somewhere along the road.
The Machine Man:
Some give up on their passion, selling their soul to fall in line with the comforts of conformity. They submit to the “rational” antidote of easy living, passively doing what everyone else in society does.
The Madman:
Others get lost in the frenzy of their own curiosity, addicted to its euphoria. This leads them down a path of untamed emotion, addiction, and disorder.
When we choose to give up on ourselves or loose ourselves, no form of creativity can emerge or manifest from our lives.
This is when we know we have failed to individuate.
We have failed to find peace and harmony within the balance.

Facing the shadow. The dark aspects of yourself. Sorrow has always and will always give meaning to life. But I agree with you that through rationality, you find the answer to all things, but through emotions, you feel all things, so they are both needed.
Yes we can achieve it. I have and so have countless others…. It requires lifelong dedication and self acceptance which I fear is beyond the grasp for most.
If you truly wish to be free you can but it a lonely road but one I am still happier than ever being on
Perhaps
No No No, Theosis! Aim for Theosis.
You don't think its the same thing?
@@ThoughtsonThinking I did until I spoke to a confessor priest with degrees in theology, psychology and philosophy 🤯 I was basically told that everything is downstream from God, focus on Theosis. You can achieve individuation and not achieve Theosis, but if you attain Theosis, you'll have achieved individuation along the way. Way above my pay grade. Any thoughts?
Each to their own opinion. Is it ever going to be an objective term? Nope not ever.
