Persona Versus Hidden Self
- Jung describes the persona as a social mask handed to us by parents and culture that we play on life's stage.
- The shadow holds repressed parts of the soul that are unseen but essential for full self-expression.
Conditioning Hides Creative Fire
- Conditioning creates blinders that keep the soul's expansive vision out of view until midlife restlessness reveals it.
- The shadow stores creative fire that must be reclaimed to live a deeply fulfilling purpose.

- Reinterpret obstacles and triggers as signals the unconscious is surfacing vital material for your purpose.
- Move toward these challenges, open them up, and look for the seeds of your true calling.
