The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego-consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends.
Carl Jung
Image
Every Mother contains her daughter in herself and every daughter her mother and every mother extends backwards into her mother and forwards into her daughter.

Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
Modern man is sick because he is not whole.
Carl Jung
Image
Wisdom accepts that all things have two sides
Carl Jung
Image
The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
Carl Jung
Image
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of awareness of darkness... as the contrast between what we have and how it could be worse is vital to appreciate anything, including our life, and so be happy and grateful
Carl Jung
Image
One cannot live without inconsistency.
Carl Jung
Image
The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world. The more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. Naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process.
Carl Jung
Image
The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.
Carl Jung
