Its ok to have mistakes in your journey

July 20
Suddenly tot of my swim last Saturday. It was so meditative. My strokes were relaxed n I find myself comfortable even when my head was in water, I was not grasping for breathe n I swam abt 6 rounds at ease.

I am now at ease in the water. My Home.

Carl Jung
After my illness, an unconditional "Yes" to that which is, without subjective protests - acceptance of the conditions of existence as I see them and understand them, acceptance of my own nature, as I happen to be.
At the beginning of the illness, I had a feeling that there was something wrong with my attitude, and that I was to some extent be responsible for the mishap. But when one follows the path of individuation, when one lives one own's live, one must take mistakes into the bargain; life would not be complete without them.
There is no guarantee - not for a single moment - that we will not fall into error or stumble into deadly peril. We may think there is a sure road. But that would be the road of death. Then nothing happens any longer - at any rate, not the right thing. Anyone who takes the sure road is as good as dead.

It is important to affirm one's own destiny. In this way, we forge an ego that does not break down when incomprehensible things happen; an ego that endures, that endures the truth, that is capable of coping with the world and wit fate. Then to experience death, is also to experience victory. Nothing is disturbed - neither inwardly nor outwardly.
But that can come to pass only when one does not meddle inquisitively with the workings of fate.

Soul - so apt. So reminiscent of what I believe and now come to have some partial experience.
The last para, I think is talking abt going with the flow. When we have a chance, trust it, go wit it. Don't stop it. Like what I am doing with Shoonya.

Carl Jung
I have also realised that one must accept the thoughts that go on within oneself and of their own accord, as part of one's reality.
The categories of true and false are, of course, always present, but because they are not binding, they take second place.
The presence of thoughts is more important that our subjective judgement of them.
But neither these judgements be suppressed for they also are an existent thoughts which are part of our wholeness

Soul - Amen. Suddenly tot of my close friend. Her validation is being a good daughter, a good friend n boss - that is why nothing should be allow to trigger it. Alas, I understood her make up.
