Navigating the Maze of Life

“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s” — Carl Jung

This is a quote that popped up in my life 3 times in the past 3 days, and recently I’ve been tuning in more to these synchronicities and coincidences that appear in my life.

They seem to be guiding me.

And I can’t help but to think that we are all very lost in this life.

As we are all just stardust woven into the cosmic tapestry, there is little that we can actually know that is outside of our own limited bubble of perception.

Sense-making maps exist out there for those who are curious enough to find them. It’s actually quite easy to do so now with the Internet. You can allow your curiosity to take you deep down the rabbit hole and come across people like Frank Yang. You can dive into sacred texts, Buddhist discord servers and psychedelic deep divers just from the phone in your pocket.

But how do we navigate through this maze without getting lost when there is so much out there to distract us?

For me, what has helped the most so far has just been sitting in silence. It’s in that space that everything becomes intuitively clear.

What has also helped is distinguishing between what is important and what is just illusion created by fear.
