Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

The patterns you have not examined do not disappear. They operate below the level of deliberate decision, shaping what you pursue, what you avoid, and who you become attached to. What feels like intuition or circumstance is often the expression of an unexamined wound or an inherited script. Making the unconscious conscious is not a comfortable process. It requires looking at what you have been blaming on the world and finding your own hand in it.
