FOUR SPIRITUALITIES:
A Psychology of Contemporary Spiritual Choice

by Peter Richardson

Good type development, bringing all four functions into positive creative interplay, overcoming fear, makes the balanced self emerge and makes spiritual deepening possible.  Wholeness comes into being when the collective elements of persona and the unconscious move into closer interplay with the strengthened ego that is capable of managing the richness of polarities at work.  The struggle of our life story, the spiritual journey, reveals the human longing to bring the self to wholeness, what Jung calls individuation.
