Beautifully stated, as usual, Peter. Back to Jung’s “I know”, like you and Tee, I think I mostly know, too. It may sound hokey but sometimes I feel that when everything is going right, when life is good and things are working out nicely, that unless I choose the “right” meaning for all my good fortune, I’ll be left with a feeling of emptiness in the midst of all my happiness. Maybe it’s devinely designed this way whereby the emptiness is a gentle nudge by the Self, Universe, G_d, etc. for us to seek answers that point us to hope in the right things, which will ultimately fill our emptiness with joy. And, of course, once we get there, we know we’ve chosen correctly.
