In this conversation, C. Michael Smith explores awakening as an ongoing process rather than a once-and-for-all event — a continual deepening that draws together psychological individuation and spiritual realization. He speaks to the dialogue between Jungian depth psychology and the world’s wisdom and shamanic traditions, the place of the unconscious and its living images, and why genuine transformation is less a breakthrough than a lifelong unfolding. Drawing on decades as both a clinician and a practitioner, he reflects on what it means to keep becoming whole across the whole of a life.
