Helen about achieving happiness in your life

Jung preceded the individuation/happiness craze we now see in westernized psychology/psychiatry/social sciences. He also defined it differently– he of course saw it as the integrating of the conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche to create a unique being. The ultimate end was supposed to be wisdom (wouldn’t ya know it, that’s my Avatar’s name), which typically takes 50 years to achieve.

I’m not sure he thought much about it from our current definition, given that his bent was more towards those things that drew humans together– a collective unconscious, the personality types and the unifying views of humanity as expressed in mythology. Jung was brilliant and a student of mythology, which he viewed as a unifying force that did not entertain individuation as expressed today. In many regards he reminds me of Joseph Campbell in his later years, refined, cultured, wise, deep and inquisitive.
