And so, the self-knowledge that this Program teaches you consists of two steps.
The first is to become a conscious observer of your psychic life through the functions of sensation and intuition. The second is to learn how to engage in proper “mental processing” through the functions of thinking and feeling.
The first step is the essence of awareness and mindfulness. The second is the essence of reflection.
“Reflexio means ‘bending back’ and, used psychologically, would denote the fact that the reflex which carries the stimulus over into its instinctive discharge is interfered with by psychization… Thus in place of the compulsive act there appears a certain degree of freedom, and in place of predictability a relative unpredictability as to the effect of the impulse.”
— C. G. Jung, “Psychological Factors in Human Behaviour”, CW 8, §241
The assignments and texts in this Program create the conditions for reflecting on your everyday experiences, helping you step out of reactive patterns and allowing you to sense a growing freedom within.
