Language is a world unto itself. An infinite universe of imaginative and conceptual imagery and symbols. Communication is the least of it yet we assume that is its primary purpose. Is it any wonder we remain confused about the nature of things.

It is precisely at the point where we become completely lost that life fully operates.

Any search for meaning ultimately leads to the inner "mythical" realm and must be understood as a limited subjective attempt to answer the unanswerable.

How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious?

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.

Recognise that the car we think we are driving is actually fully autonomous requiring no driver. We think we are at the wheel but the reason the car drives so badly is because we fight it at every turn. We belatedly see that the car functions perfectly well without us and we are free to sit back and enjoy the ride.

It is both a great relief and also a source of boundless capacity, to look for oneself and find no one at the wheel.

If you think your consciousness and ego/ self of I, me, mine is so damn clever, important and responsible for all the things it takes credit for just stop to consider what it does not and cannot do. Little things like beat your heart, digest your food, run your central nervous system, keep your balance, regulate your body temperature, fight infection, filter toxins, grow your hair, see, hear, feel, taste and of course breathe to name but a few. You wouldn’t even be able to entertain the fantasies that you have an ego or are a self without your unconsciousness providing the means for such illusions.
