My wings are unburdened
But I fly not.
I see no seashore.
Just water, no more.
Swimmers among the shimmers
Murmur about the glimmer
Glittering above a drop.
I know what I'll do.
I'll build a tower of water up high,
Above the waves and weave of turbulence.
A reflection behind my closed eyes
Always flowing to this current moment.
Forget the question. Please, please, please. Don't think.
Build your tower before you sink.
But alas I think. I think and I sink.
Sometimes I stop to be swallowed below,
To fall to forgotten, forever nights.
The deeper you go, the better you know
How dark our sea is and how brief the light.
Both fast past and fleeting future shrivel
Shrink, sink, fuse together with tomorrow.
Shimmers on the sea and this revival
Are but surface echoes, not heard below.
We're just splashing around before the sharks
Slither from bottomless shadows of dark.
Why?
My wings are unburdened
But I sea nowhere to fly
But towards the end.
But I fly not.
I see no seashore.
Just water, no more.
Swimmers among the shimmers
Murmur about the glimmer
Glittering above a drop.
I know what I'll do.
I'll build a tower of water up high,
Above the waves and weave of turbulence.
A reflection behind my closed eyes
Always flowing to this current moment.
Forget the question. Please, please, please. Don't think.
Build your tower before you sink.
But alas I think. I think and I sink.
Sometimes I stop to be swallowed below,
To fall to forgotten, forever nights.
The deeper you go, the better you know

Both fast past and fleeting future shrivel
Shrink, sink, fuse together with tomorrow.

"“Where you are not conscious, there can obviously be no freedom.
Through the analysis of the unconscious, you increase the amount of freedom.
A complete consciousness would mean an equally complete freedom and responsibility.
If unconscious contents approaching the sphere of consciousness are not analysed and integrated, then the sphere of your freedom is even diminished through the fact that such contents are activated and gain more compelling influence upon consciousness than when they were completely unconscious.” ~Carl Jung, To the Rev. S.C.V. Bowman, December 10, 1953
We feel that Jungian shadow work increases awareness, and moves one “closer to center”, as it gives us reasons “why” we feel and behave as we do; where we make the unconscious-conscious in order to integrate our many unconscious reasons, so that we might transcend them. The Kybalion outlines “closer to center” below…"
