Terror images
For the last two nights, I have been plagued by terrorizing thoughts and images. During my sleep, and naturally I woke up with these thoughts still assaulting me. I was interested in how Jung would talk about what we have called the terrorist. Pat turned to talking about the apocalypse and how images of the end of the world or drastic images of terror come about when the ego has too much control in the psyche and the Self wants to make itself more apparent. Isn't that interesting? I have been sitting with the awareness of how much I want to control things and how it is not really in my control. Hence the images of terror. Time to let go and let other forces take control.

As you are aware of it being time to let go how do you manifest this from a Jungian approach? Are there particular things you will do to make that shift?
Awareness is the first step. Then I keep that awareness in mind, and when control urges come up, I let them go. Pass away. Jung has no techniques other than reflection. Each individual finds their own way.
