I call it AI, this technic has broth to me so much inner knowledge, in the course of using it 6 months every 2-3 days….the person I was versus who I am today by gaining all this knowledge about my shadows, is so great, I don’t recognize myself, I’m getting to know who I truly I’m. Thank you CGY and to you as well for making it available, for making it Conscious ❤🎉
That's wonderful to hear Sylvie that AI has been so impactful for you. I can certainly relate. Your dedication to going deep is commendable and is clearly showing up in your results. Thank you for the support 🌟🔥
Getting caught up on this video Max after finally completing the meditation for Beyond the Limen part 4. So far, in my limited experience of a year or so since first trying active imagination and paying more attention to dreams, I have changed for the better as far as insight into my own behaviours, thoughts and emotions. It has been remarkable and I find it exciting to know there is so much wisdom waiting there to be tapped into within.
Hey Chris, this is awesome. Excellent work! It's a testament to the value of opening up a connection with the unconscious mind and the power of this technique. There's always more there waiting to be encountered. It's a never ending process of unfolding on the macro scale and we all play a part in it. Yet the benefits can be felt at every stage on the personal level.
Hi Max, I hope you're doing well. I definitely think active imagination is very beneficial tool (so to speak). I have tried to continue it on in my day to day life. I find it's been a little hard. I can embody the position of the archetypes better so in turn I can facilitate conversation with different parts of myself more smoothly. I have discovered I am a clever person in trying to outsmart myself back to square one with progress. I know it's a contradiction but I feel like I have taken responsibility for my mind. I work so hard but achieve so little. I know this can't be true (taking responsibility), though, because how can I take responsibility for my mind when my mind is the very same thing that I am constantly having to call out? At this rate, how can I ever make significant headway? Have a good week Max!
You raise a great point SleepyLee about the mind taking responsibility is the same being taken responsibility for. This presents unavoidable challenges. The moment "you" try to make something happen a duality is set up. This is how it has to be. The Fool card from the tarot hints at this. We must trip ourselves up before reconciling with ourselves. There is contradiction at every turn, and also non-contradiction, and that's OK. But also not OK. Wanting to "achieve" something inexorably sets up a shadow. Not trying to achieve something brings about its own results. There is no single solution and wanting one contains its own problems. Then again, "man needs difficulties," as Jung said, "they are necessary for health." Taking responsibility for the mind is about understanding the nature and workings of mind and changing our relationship to it. There's no way around the need for an ego because an ego is simply the directed sense of 'I' that must go out and encounter the world for anything to be known. Whenever there is a mismatch between what we set out to do and what we end up doing, it is pointing to an inner conflict. In such situations it can be beneficial to enquire into what is the motivation and benefit behind what the ego deems as undesirable. Is there something in it that we secretly want and need? This is about acknowledging and embracing duality. In one way, *not* taking responsibility for the mind is equivalent to denying duality. These are a few thoughts that came up... feel free to let me know if it resonates.
