The Watcher and The Way

Working with the ego-Self axis on the path to authentic expression...

If you feel like you’re doing everything “right” and still feeling disconnected, you’re not alone. The modern world praises action but ignores depth. It’s no wonder so many of us feel like we’re rowing with all our strength…and getting nowhere.

Remembering the Self

In our recent Inner Compass Academy class, The Watcher and the Way, we explored the psycho-spiritual relationship between ego and Self, a tension at the heart of both Jungian depth psychology and Eastern contemplative traditions like Raja Yoga. While the traditions use different language, both point toward the same inner paradox: there is more to us than our thoughts, identities, or ambitions. And we’ve forgotten.

Here’s the paradox: the ego must develop. But the ego alone cannot carry us home.
