“‘Self-actualization’, a term used in humanistic and existential psychology, implies a bringing into actuality of something that has been a latent potentiality. The term ‘self-realization’ suggests a making real, or seeing as real, something that has been only a dream or a vague intuition. Similarly, Jung’s term ‘individuation’ refers on the one hand to developing individual consciousness, as distinct from mass consciousness, and on the other hand to becoming ‘un-divided’, or whole.”
—Ralph Metzner, The Unfolding Self (via omnisvirtigris)
