The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows it to realize its supreme purpose through him.
Carl Jung

Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself. It is an almost absurd prejudice to suppose that existence can only be physical...We might well say, on the contrary, that physical existence is a mere inference, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses.
Carl Jung
Image
Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Perfection belongs to the Gods the most we can hope for is excellence.
Carl Jung

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams who looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung

The Wrong we have Done, Thought, or Intended Will wreak its Vengeance on Our SOULS.
Carl Jung
Image
If you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem.
Carl Jung
Image
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl Jung
Image
The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one's own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, when you find that you can not support yourself. Only this experience can give you an indestructible foundation.
Carl Jung
Image
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
Carl Jung
Image
The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.
Carl Jung

If you are unhappy, you are too high up in your mind.
