Image
Nothing is possible without love ... For love puts one in a mood to risk everything.
Carl Jung
Image
Neurosis is the natural by-product of pain avoidance.
Carl Jung
Image
Projection [of our own shadow] makes the whole world a replica of our own unknown face.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious wants to flow into consciousness in order to reach the light, but at the same time it continually thwarts itself, because it would rather remain unconscious. That is to say, God wants to become man, but not quite.
Carl Jung
Image
Nothing is possible without love.
Carl Jung
Image
Modern man is battered by the fundamental forces of his own psyche.
Carl Jung
Image
What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and our feelings do not suffice to form even an approximate conception of it. The dissolution of our time-bound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning.
Carl Jung
Image
The darkness which clings to every personality is the door into the unconscious and the gateway of dreams, from which those two twilight figures, the shadow and the anima, step into our nightly visions or, remaining invisible, take possession of our ego-consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research.
Carl Jung
Image
Religion is a defense against the experience of God.
Carl Jung
Image
The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
Carl Jung
Image
You must live life in such a spirit that you make in every moment the best of possibilities.
Carl Jung
Image
Just as man as a social being, cannot in the long run exist without a tie to the community, so the individual will never find the real justification for his existence, and his own spiritual and moral autonomy, anywhere except in an extramundane principle capable of relativizing the overpowering influence of external factors.
Carl Jung
Image
In thirty years I have treated many patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life, every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age had given their followers, and none of them was really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.
Carl Jung
Image
The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.
Carl Jung
Image
As any change must begin somewhere, it is the single individual who will experience it and carry it through. The change must indeed begin with an individual it might be any one of us. Nobody can afford to look round and to wait for somebody else to do what he is loath to do himself.
Carl Jung
Image
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Carl Jung
Image
Science has destroyed even the refuge of the inner life. What was once a sheltering haven has become a place of terror
Carl Jung
Image
It is high time that we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to preach the art of seeing.
Carl Jung
Image
People learn from who we are, rather than what we say, and to believe otherwise is a disease of the mind.
Carl Jung
