Are You Awake Yet?

As we get older, many of us start to look deeper for meaning in our lives.  We want to find our purpose, our reason for being.  We want to fill the void, piece together the puzzle that is life and finally make sense of it all.  We want to wake up to what we've been missing for so long.  And so, the journey begins…

According to Carl Jung, this trip we take usually happens in the middle years, when we begin to search for the 'whole self', trying to achieve our goals for the next half of life.  He says we get to a point where “the glowing coals of consciousness buried deep within the personality begin to break into flames.” A transformation begins and brings many things into awareness.

Pretty amazing stuff.  Some of us may have already started on our journey.  Others may have been on it for quite some time.  

Have you thought about your own journey?  Where are you now?  What steps are you taking toward arriving at that fully awakened place?
