Image
The whole point of Jesus's life was not that we should become exactly like him, but that we should become ourselves in the same way he became himself. Jesus was not the great exception but the great example.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is something that has to be lived and not talked about.
Carl Jung
Image
Our psyche is set up in accord with the structure of the universe, and what happens in the macrocosm likewise happens in the infinitesimal and most subjective reaches of the psyche
Carl Jung
Image
Our souls as well as our bodies are composed of individual elements which were all already present in the ranks of our ancestors. The newness in the individual psyche is an endlessly varied recombination of age-old components.
Carl Jung
Image
You can take away a man's gods, but only to give him others in return.
Carl Jung
Image
The whole nature of man presupposes woman, both physically and spiritually. His system is tuned into woman from the start, just as it is prepared for a quite definite world where there is water, light, air, salt, carbohydrates etc.
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
The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man.
Carl Jung
Image
Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness.
Carl Jung
Image
The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Carl Jung
Image
Synchronistic events provide an immediate religious experience as a direct encounter with the compensatory patterning of events in nature as a whole, both inwardly and outwardly.
Carl Jung
Image
Ultimate truth, if there be such a thing, demands the concert of many voices.
Carl Jung
Image
The descent into the depths always seems to precede the ascent.
Carl Jung
Image
The distinction between mind and body is an artificial dichotomy, a discrimination which is unquestionably based far more on the peculiarity of intellectual understanding than on the nature of things.
Carl Jung
Image
Conflict exists strictly as an opportunity to raise our consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
One is forced to speak not of what is held in common between the cultures, but what is held in common between the myths, and that in its simplest archetypal forms.
Carl Jung
Image
The greatest potential for growth and self-realisation exists in the second half of life.
Carl Jung
Image
But, if you have nothing at all to create, then perhaps you create yourself.
Carl Jung
Image
Our intellect has achieved the most tremendous things, but in the meantime our spiritual dwelling has fallen into disrepair.
Carl Jung
