“Individuation is a conscious attempt to bring the universal programme of human existence to its fullest possible expression in the life of the individual.” Wisdom, then, is to be guided by the providence of the Higher Self.
This transcendent Higher Self also has an immanent projection, and we may identify, perhaps, the immanent Higher Self with the ἴδιος δαίμων, the personal or guardian angel, at least in some versions of that idea. The Higher Self also seems to be a likely candidate for Socrates’ δαιμόνιον.
Jung stresses that the Higher Self is paradoxical — and even contradictory — because it comprehends all the opposites. He calls it the Unus Mundus, but in Neoplatonic terms it is τὸ ἄρρητον ἕν (the Inexpressible One), which unifies mind and matter, unity and plurality, stability and change — indeed being and non-being, Being and Becoming.
The only way to bridge these contradictions, according to Jung, is by a symbolic process, which he calls the transcendent function. Synchronicities are clues hinting at one's transcendent function.
It is also important for people to be in touch with their Anima or Animus, the Higher Self of one's eternal partner, twin flame, who may be a guide into the divine realm.
This is especially a task for the second half of life, when the Higher Self (that is, the One) urges the psyche to reclaim its neglected parts — the ἐπιστροφὴ or turn toward unity; that is, the One calls us to ally ourselves with the divine and to put ourselves in service of Πρόνοια.
