The freedom you seek is not external. It is the result of inner coherence. When what appears in your life and what is true are no longer in conflict. Jung called this individuation:
The process of becoming who you are, without distortion.
In our journey through life, we unknowingly create a stark contrast between our unconscious shadow needs and our conscious desires. The shadow needs stem from unmet childhood needs and are subconscious and opposite to our conscious aspirations.
The unconscious will continue to create situations like those in childhood until we transcend and bring them to the surface.
The universe collaborates with the human experience to strive towards harmony. Therefore, our subconscious creates events for us to learn, transmute, and release the shadows. We undergo a profound transformation. The once-familiar patterns, dynamics, and people begin to dissipate, making room for a life that resonates with our true selves.
This serves the evolution of your highest self.
You indeed are the alchemist of your life, the channel for your highest creation.
