Full Potential

Summary

The text discusses the journey towards realizing one's full potential by integrating both masculine (Animus) and feminine (Anima) aspects of the self, emphasizing the importance of pure intentions and the willingness to endure challenges.

Abstract

The article "Full Potential" delves into the concept of achieving personal wholeness by acknowledging and embracing the dual principles within each individual. It suggests that by recognizing and nurturing the skills and qualities of both the Animus (masculine) and Anima (feminine) aspects of the psyche, a person can overcome limitations and manifest a more complete human experience. The author reflects on the necessity of a balanced interplay between these principles, likening their alchemical fusion to the creation of gold. The piece underscores the importance of self-awareness, responsibility, and conscious effort in this transformative process, which is not about gender but about the harmonious synthesis of internal elements. The author is committed to this path for the sake of contributing to a collective understanding of truth, rather than personal power or domination. The journey is depicted as challenging, requiring one to navigate through darkness and face internal crises, yet it promises the reward of freedom and the realization of the soul's potential.

We can experience our whole range, as long as the motive is not dirty, and we are willing to pay the price

Animus, Animus, Where are you? I feel you somewhere inside. I know you are true.

You have a lot of things to teach. Your skills can make me now defeat what’s manifested here on earth as an incomplete human self.

Externally I used to show more skills of my Anima-voice. It was until I “saw” the fact that I am really wider than that.

Wherever birth is manifested, two principals combine their essence; a feminine one and a masculine are always in presence.

Gender isn’t exactly the point here. It’s about the substance of the elements alchemized into gold that finally appears.

I don’t fight my Anima’s characteristics. I just work on enlightening more my contact with yours.

I won’t deny any of you two. If I split you, I’m not whole, because none of you can create life alone. You are one, after all.

I’ll just “grow” more, I’ll work within the dark, to illuminate and use your potential, too, to become my own ark.

I’ll be careful, I'm aware of the motive that is in there. I don’t do it to rule the world, to dominate my friend or my foe.

I will do it to contribute to the uncovering of the eternal truth, to be elevated with all the “others". The trap of division always bothers.

Responsibility, work with toil, consciousness, and self-awareness, are not the easy choice. But I am guided by my Self’s voice.

Freedom is here, but, to be unveiled I have to pass through the hurricane.

A man, a woman can really be the soul’s potential, their real “me”. But only when ready to prove they’ll also take the cost along with the profit of this route.
