"Living a meaningful life is the spiritual issue of the day."

Excerpts from John Yungblut

"The one inexorable and all-comprehensive demand God makes of us is that we become and remain ourselves." in "Rediscovering Prayer"

"The first claim on our energy and on raised consciousness is the tender loving care we must bestow on the earth." in "Shaping a Personal Myth to Live By"

"The mystical consciousness is not something with which only a few are endowed; it is found in everyone. All are special kinds of mystics, at least potentially." in "Discovering God Within"

"Graven images continue to be recognized as idols, and reverence for them as idolatry. But the verbal images constructed by the mind wrought into creed, confessions of faith, and rigid theological systems are not recognized as the idols, nor their vain repetition as the idolatry, they really are." in "Discovering God Within"

Penelope Yungblut

in "The Path of Devotion in Light of Analytical Psychology: The Ego in Service to the Self"

"Attunement and attentiveness to that which lies deepest within constitutes the essence of the spiritual life in the second half of life. It is the heroic task of our time for those who cannot choose otherwise. They are the ones for whom the ground has given way beneath their feet and who have heeded the advice of C. G. Jung to jump."

"Living a meaningful life, which is the spiritual issue of our day, requires that we answer to and follow as consistently as we can the inner voice which speaks for that which lies deepest within. C. G. Jung called this the religious instinct. It is the urge for healing and wholeness."

"It would seem that the unity of the personality and the self-realization of the psyche demand nothing less than our devotion to serving the Self, each in our own way, following our unique journey and destiny. This is to live a life of authenticity, vitality and integrity dedicated to becoming who we are meant to be."

"The individuation journey in which the ego serves the Self is a life-long journey which leads to self-discovery, healing and wholeness. It asks of us a commitment to openness, humility, flexibility, spaciousness, receptivity and responsiveness to the hallmarks and manifestations of the Self, God within."
