Embracing Limit: Finding the Psycho-Spiritual Center of Mid-life

William (Bill) Schmidt explores the inevitability of limit experiences as life’s invitation toward transformation.  Within our so-called problems lies the seed of future wholeness.  How then might such limit be met?

Carl Jung’s Red Book stands as an exemplar of a radical willingness to enter into disintegration for a purpose yet unknown.  Whether seen as a model, or perhaps even a paradigm, we have much to learn from Jung’s path of expansion of heart, of consciousness, of the life-vision itself. Ann Ulanov offers us a deeply relevant analysis of Jung’s experiences, toward which I intend to provide further Spiritual reflections with personal and communal life-applications.
