>>14125587>>14125586>The Higher Self & Individuation continuedThis transcendent Higher Self also has an immanent projection, and we may identify, perhaps, the immanent Higher Self with the ἴδιος δαίμων, the anima, the personal or guardian angel, at least in some versions of that idea. The Higher Self also seems to be a likely candidate for Socrates’ δαιμόνιον.
Jung stresses that the Higher Self is paradoxical — and even contradictory — because it comprehends all the opposites. He calls it the Unus Mundus, but in Neoplatonic terms it is τὸ ἄρρητον ἕν (the Inexpressible One), which unifies mind and matter, unity and plurality, stability and change — indeed being and non-being, Being and Becoming.
The only way to bridge these contradictions, according to Jung, is by a symbolic process, which he calls the transcendent function. Synchronicities are clues hinting at one's transcendent function.
This is especially a task for the second half of life, when the Higher Self (that is, the One) urges the psyche to reclaim its neglected parts — the ἐπιστροφὴ or turn toward unity.
Individuation is in part about finding a conscious dialogue with your daemon, guardian angel, who will guide who towards your destiny, path, dharma.
Thus, a primary task of man and woman in this realm of duality is to reign in their serpent, their "Satan" root chakra/kundalini force, become the master of it (and importantly - not suppress it entirely) to achieve balance and harmony in the heart to find love.
