Image
Somewhere, right at the bottom of one’s own being, one generally does know where one should go and what one should do. But there are times when the clown we call “I” behaves in such a distracting fashion that the inner voice cannot make its presence felt.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychopathology of the masses is rooted in the psychology of the individual
Carl Jung
Image
What is not brought to consciousness, comes to us as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
The teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn't even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any questions.
Carl Jung
Image
God has fallen out of containment in religion and into human hearts—God is incarnating. Our whole unconscious is in an uproar from the God Who wants to know and to be known.
Carl Jung
Image
One finds one's destiny on the path one takes to avoid it.
Carl Jung

Hitler's movement is near to Mohammedanism.
Carl Jung
Image
There was need of a phantastic, indestructible optimism, and one far removed from all sense of reality, in order, for example, to discover in the shameful death of Christ really the highest salvation and the redemption of the world.
Carl Jung
Image
To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real.
Carl Jung
Image
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Carl Jung
Image
That which compels us to create a substitute for ourselves is not the external lack of objects, but our incapacity to lovingly include a thing outside of ourselves
Carl Jung
Image
To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed and suddenly we realize how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.
Carl Jung
Image
Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.
Carl Jung
Image
The primary cause of unhappiness in the world today is... lack of faith.
Carl Jung
Image
Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
Carl Jung
Image
Modern man is sick because he is not whole.
Carl Jung
Image
So the lion is the law-breaker. Just as to the primitive man the lion is the lawbreaker, the great nuisance, dangerous to human beings and to animals, that breaks into the Kraal at night and fetches the bull out of the herd: he is the destructive instinct.
Carl Jung
Image
The conscious mind allows itself to be trained like a parrot, but the unconscious does not — which is why St. Augustine thanked God for not making him responsible for his dreams.
Carl Jung
Image
If I accept the fact that a god is absolute and beyond all human experiences, he leaves me cold. I do not affect him, nor does he affect me. But if I know that a god is a powerful impulse in my soul, at once I must concern myself with him, for then he can become important
Carl Jung
Image
Man's unconscious... contains all the patterns of life and behaviour inherited from his ancestors, so that every human child, prior to consciousness, is possessed of a potential system of adapted psychic functioning.
Carl Jung
