Fate does not exist as something predetermined

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.".- Carl Jung


That is why  I say that fate does not exist as something predetermined...where would freedom be if not so; and if I had to choose between fate and freedom, I would definitely choose the second, that´s freedom. To be directed by the unconscious, that should be left to animals and kids. We have 100,000 million  nuerons each one, but most of us confirm with our actions again and again, the ten percent of brain myth. Not even Nietzsche says we should be directed by emotions, unless we have first a period of reflexion in loneliness; i.e. we should allow to be directed by emotions, only when we are conscious about it. The question now is how to become conscious, but Jung himself gives us the answer, to wich I woud like to return later:

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”
