There is no coming to consciousness without pain.

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

• Carl Jung

~ There is no light without darkness.

When we decide to go through the cave of our own darkness, when we start to feel the parts of ourselves that we hate, the parts that we do not accept, the parts that we hide not only to ourselves, but to the world. Feeling the pain directly in the core, this way we will see the light, in this way we will feel genuine emotions of pleasure and joy.
