Quote

But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, yea the very fiend himself— that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved— what then?

Carl Jung

Hitler's movement is near to Mohammedanism.

I had to make a confession of faith in stone. That was the beginning of the tower, the house I built for myself at Bollingen.

I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me.

Our intellect has achieved the most tremendous things, but in the meantime our spiritual dwelling has fallen into disrepair.

From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.
Carl Jung

The self is defined psychologically as the psychic totality of the individual. Anything that a [person] postulates as being a greater totality than [oneself] can become a symbol of the self. For this reason the symbol of the self is not always as total as the definition would require.

It is indeed time for the clergyman and the psychotherapist to join forces.
Carl Jung
Image
The woman is increasingly aware that love alone can give her full stature, just as the man begins to discern that spirit alone can endow his life with its highest meaning. Fundamentally, therefore, both seek a psychic relation to the other, because love needs the spirit, and the spirit love, for their fulfillment.

Intuition (is) perception via the unconscious
Carl Jung
Image
One might expect, perhaps, that a man full of genius could pasture in the greatness of his own thoughts, and renounce the cheap approbation of the crowd which he despises yet he succumbs to the more powerful impulse of the herd instinct. His searching and his finding, his call, belong to the herd.

The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experience you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous character.

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

God enters through the wound.
Carl Jung
Image
Man is the microcosm of the macrocosm the God on earth is built on the pattern of the God in nature. But the universal consciousness of the real Ego transcends a million fold the self-consciousness of the personal for false ego.
Carl Jung

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.

Be simple and always take the next step. You needn't see it in advance, but you can look back at it afterwards.There is no 'how' of life, one just does it.
