In this one, we riff around the practical, psychological and esoteric layers of what Carl Jung called individuation: The process of becoming a psychologically distinct and whole individual. In short, the art of discovering and living one's purpose in life. We also muse about individuation's direct connection to a more overtly mystical and ancient concept, the personal daimon, and much more.
