In C.G. Jung's "The Red Book," he presents the idea that growth should be organic and unrestricted, similar to a tree that grows naturally without awareness of its own rules. This metaphor suggests that individuals often confine themselves with intentions and preconceptions, which can hinder their true potential and connection to life.
Jung argues that when we become overly focused on our intentions, we inadvertently limit our experiences and exploration of life’s possibilities. By letting go of rigid intentions, we open ourselves up to a more expansive existence, embracing the unpredictable and vital aspects of life.
