Image
A [wo]man who is unconscious of [her/]himself acts in a blind, instinctive way and is in addition fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbour.
Carl Jung
Image
About a third of my cases are suffering from no clinically definable neurosis, but from the senselessness and emptiness of their lives.

Carl Jung

Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
Seldom, or perhaps never, does a marriage develop into an individual relationship smoothly and without crises there is no coming to consciousness without pain.
Carl Jung
Image
I live in my deepest hell and from there I cannot fall any further.
Carl Jung
Image
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Carl Jung
Image
The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution born anew in the brain structure of every individual.
Carl Jung
Image
Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands.
Carl Jung
Image
It is also possible for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail
Carl Jung
Image
Recognition of the reality of evil necessarily relativizes the good, and the evil likewise, converting both into halves of a paradoxical whole.
Carl Jung
Image
All ages before ours believed in gods in some form or other. Only an unparalleled impoverishment in symbolism could enable us to rediscover the gods as psychic factors, which is to say, as archetypes of the unconscious. No doubt this discovery is hardly credible as yet.
