Connection with the Self

From Von Franz’s Alchemy, page 167:

    I think if one does something out of a living connection with the Self, then paying the price is worth while, the price of being accused of wrong-doing and perhaps passing through the stages of thinking it is wrong. Subjectively, one never really feels it is wrong, but one must allow for people saying it is, and be tolerant. But if you are happy and feel alive, that is the one thing nobody can take away from you. If I say I am happy, what can anyone else say about it? If one is in harmony with the Self, there is a feeling of absolute happiness and peace and others can judge as much as they like with destructive intellectual theories; that doesn’t do any harm for feeling close to the Self becomes the indesctructible thing.
