More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. For us, this becomes a real art... Consciousness is forever interfering, helping, correcting, and negating, never leaving the single growth of the psychic processes in peace.
Carl Jung
Image
The only thing we have to fear on this planet is man.
Carl Jung
Image
Man positively needs general ideas and convictions that will give a meaning to his life and enable him to find a place for himself in the universe.
Carl Jung
Image
An archetypal content expresses itself, first and foremost, in metaphors.
Carl Jung
Image
So often among so-called primitives one comes across spiritual personalities who immediately inspire respect, as though they were the fully matured products of an undisturbed fate.
Carl Jung
Image
We carry our past with us, to wit, the primitive and inferior man with his desires and emotions, and it is only with an enormous effort that we can detach ourselves from this burden. If it comes to a neurosis, we invariably have to deal with a considerably intensified shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
Never diagnose a (client) until after their therapy is over.
Carl Jung
Image
When you are up against a wall, put down roots like a tree, until clarity comes from deeper sources to see over that wall and grow.
Carl Jung
Image
If a union is to take place between opposites like spirit and matter, conscious and unconscious, bright and dark, and so on, it will happen in a third thing, which represents not a compromise but something new.
Carl Jung
Image
You must live life in such a spirit that you make in every moment the best of possibilities.
Carl Jung
Image
No concept is a carrier of life.
Carl Jung
Image
The man of today, who resembles more or less the collective ideal, has made his heart into a den of murderers, as can easily be proved by the analysis of his unconscious, even though he himself is not in the least disturbed by it.
Carl Jung
Image
I believe that we have no real access to who we really are except in God. Only when we rest in God can we find the safety, the spaciousness, and the scary freedom to be who we are, all that we are, more than we are, and less than we are.
Carl Jung
Image
My evenings are taken up very largely with astrology. I make horoscopic calculations in order to find a clue to the core of psychological truth.
Carl Jung
Image
The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.
Carl Jung
Image
Aging people should know that their lives are not mounting and unfolding but that an inexorable inner process forces the contraction of life. For a young person it is almost a sin and certainly a danger to be too much occupied with himself but for the aging person it is a duty and a necessity to give serious attention to himself.
Carl Jung
Image
At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the plashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons.
Carl Jung
Image
From the viewpoint of analytic psychology, the theatre, aside from any aesthetic value, may be considered as an institution for the treatment of the mass complex.
Carl Jung
Image
The capacity for inner dialogue is a touchstone for outer objectivity.
Carl Jung
Image
Nothing is possible without love.
