The Art of letting things happen

“But the Westerner who wishes to set out on this way, if he is really serious about it, has all authority against him-intellectual, moral, and religious”

- Carl C. Jung

Well in life sometimes we get cramped up trying to over think. The rational mind is always interrupting the Unconscious. Anytime you have a fantasy or an idea the rational mind comments, “its stupid, it won’t work, or what the hell are you thinking that for” the rational mind seems to be bent on destroying the fantasy activity of the imagination.

What is one to do?

Let things happen in the mind. Letting things happen is about action thorough non-action. This idea is the key that can open the way. But most people know very little about letting things be. We all know everything good is costly and the development of a more integrated mind is among the most difficult things to achieve.

In order to become integrated one has taken the Self seriously. We must consider the Self as the most important work of life. This connection to that deeper aspect will be a catalyst for a more expanded mind and view of life.
