The reintegration into wholeness. Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to talk to you about the fascinating concept of aligning one's ego with Jungian archetypes, using the illustrations of one's Ori from the Ifa Yoruba cosmology. This concept provides a unique perspective on self-discovery and personal growth.

Firstly, let's delve into the concept of the ego. In psychology, the ego represents our conscious mind, sense of self, and identity. It is the part of us that interacts with the outside world and makes decisions based on our perceptions and experiences.

Now, let's explore the idea of Jungian archetypes. Carl Jung, a renowned Swiss psychiatrist, proposed that our unconscious mind comprises universal patterns and images called archetypes. These archetypes are deeply rooted in our collective human experience and influence our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

In the Yoruba cosmology, the Ori is considered the individual's deity or divine essence. It is believed to be the source of one's destiny, character, and individuality. The Ori represents our unique purpose and potential in life.
