The Individuation Process and Care of the Self

This paper is about care of the Self.  I observe that there is an evolution of consciousness and that, today, we are being asked to make a quantum leap in consciousness.  I also make some comments on the contemporary “spirit of the times” and its pathology.  I then discuss Jung’s path of individuation which has two aspects, one involving the search for vocation and surrender to a higher will and the other involving alchemy and in-depth transformation of nature with the goal of realizing the chthonic spirit.
