Engagement with a life of integrity requires ego and Soul to reflect one another.
How best can we experience our Life Purpose as the Soul's call, reflecting our human and Divine natures?
The integrative work of strengthening the ego is always best supported with respect and connection to our unconscious. Allowing ourselves to follow the path of the Sacred Call can give us peace and joy even though it is not without suffering--a natural aspect of being human. The life's work is passing through one's suffering and letting this also create moments of joy at having committed to being on a path of Individuation. Living means seeking the deeper intention of the Soul and following this path through the life. Let us consider this in our heart to heart gathering.
