"Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakes." (Carl Jung)
This is one quote that has been on my mind for a few years now.
Every once in a while I revisit it and it brings more and more depth to the understanding of its meaning.
My latest insight related to this quote is that there is an inner guiding voice in every person.
This inner voice is beyond logic, beyond intuition, beyond experience, beyond feelings.
It's a balanced combination of these factors.
It's hard to describe it, but I realize that every time I listen to it, I make the right choice. The one that brings me the most happiness and fulfillment.
Do you recognize such a voice in yourself?
If so, what do you call it?

Beautifully written!
But how do we tell the difference if that's the helpful inner voice that we're hearing or simply our anxious thoughts?
I would say that the inner voice is constructive, encouraging and helps us see solutions. The anxious thoughts are trying to make us stay small, not evolve, and are not constructive.
