Step into the large journey intended by your soul

Jung wrote that most of the time, we walk in shoes too small for us. We often live small, adaptive lives, in response to the voices around us and the fears within us. As James Hollis points out during this series: 

“Jung’s metaphor suggests that on most days we suffer a failure of nerve. Living ‘small’ is easier than living large. Stepping into our largeness is not narcissism—it ultimately proves our greatest contribution to others. All it requires is the resolve to stand humbly but responsibly before our own largeness, and then to step into it.”

Join us in this 5-class audio course with the inimitable James Hollis and work towards inhabiting a larger life-canvas.

Living a meaningful life can be gauged as the degree to which we can be true to who we really are in the face of the obstacles that life presents. The truth about who we are comes from a source within us: call it the soul, the psyche or anything else. Jim Hollis shows us how to use our inner compass to get to that source.

There are many inner and outer claims for our allegiance. Some of them are conscious, a great deal unconscious. Some of them are in our interest and some are inimical to our interests. Some come from our response to contemporary stimuli. And most come from the activation of archaic patterns of response in our psychological history about which we know very little, if anything at all.

Part of the task of living a meaningful life is sorting through these claims and trying to discern which voices are ours and which belong to others. As well as which are authentic paths for us and which have been imposed.

Psyche is the constant riverbed through our lifelong changes. The psyche is the totality of our functioning; the totality of our being. It has its somatic manifestation in bodily functions and responses. It’s our affective life where emotions are stirred and move in certain directions. It’s our cognitive process and it’s our behaviors. And it’s something else beside that that we can’t quantify.

The psyche is always speaking to us. And part of the task of the second half of life is the recovery of a respect for the fact that the psyche is speaking. And having the courage to listen to what it wants of us.

We can listen to the psyche´s evaluation of how we’re living. It has opinions about how our life is going, how we’re moving in the world. The psyche holds our trauma while it keeps track of what we do with it. Our deeper self has a view of the daily choices we make.

This course is an invitation to reflect upon the many claims upon our allegiance and our value choices. It’s an opportunity to confirm those values that are integral to who we are. An opportunity to deepen into what helps us stretch out in the world, tap deep into our roots and hold to those values that can help us step into our own largeness.
