“Salvation is more than forgiveness. It is a genuine renewal of man. And this renewal is effected not by the discharge, or release of certain natural energies implied in man’s own creaturely being, but by the ‘energies’ of God Himself, who thereby encounters and encompasses man, and admits him into communion ‘with Himself.” George Florovsky “St. Gregory Palamas and the Tradition of the Fathers”☦

Among Jung’s most important work was his in-depth analysis of the psyche, which he explained as follows: “By psyche I understand the totality of all psychic processes, conscious as well as unconscious,” separating the concept from conventional concept of the mind, which is generally limited to the processes of the conscious brain alone.
Jung believed that the psyche is a self-regulating system, rather like the body, one that seeks to maintain a balance between opposing qualities while constantly striving for growth, a process Jung called “individuation”.

The blood of heroes flows through your veins. It has traveled many generations to get to you and expects you to continue its legacy.
With your heroic blood, do not get caught up in the physical and forget your true nature. "You do not have a soul. You are a soul, you have a body." The essence of our rational mind has its origins in the Divine, yet indeed we know nothing other than what it means to be intimately tied to our moral bodies. What seems like a contradiction is instead a mystery to unravel.
Just as the blood of our heroic ancestors empowers our bodies, the ancient wisdom of our ancestors enlightens our minds. Our senses, cognition, and memories as we know them are all inseparably connected to material flesh, yet, all we actually experience is wholly transcendent and immaterial. Our consciousness is not a product of matter, rather the illusion of the material world is a creation of our minds. Everything we truly know is consciousness; that is our essence. With that knowledge we can begin to know God, in whose image we are made.
All is mental, the universe is mental...
As above, so below; as within, so without...

Meditation is an important part of most spiritual disciplines, whether it be in the form of active prayer, laboring, or silent contemplation. It allows the mind to focus itself on anything it may choose without the body distracting it. The timeless idea of momento mori or "remember death" is a call to contemplate one's mortality. To meditate on this is to carry around that awareness of our inevitable death so we may act more prudently in the short lives we are given. In this manner we can meditate on anything we choose and have it fill our awareness so that it will in turn affect ourselves; we have the power to change ourselves simply by thinking about it.
