Image
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
Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.
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
Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them.
Carl Jung
Image
Shadow work is the path of the heart warrior.

Carl Jung
Image
The psychic depths are nature, and nature is creative life.
Carl Jung
Image
Wherever an inferiority complex exists, there is a good reason for it.
Carl Jung
Image
I deliberately and consciously give preference to a dramatic, mythological way of thinking and speaking, because this is not only more expressive but also more exact than an abstract scientific terminology, which is wont to toy with the notion that its theoretic formulations may one fine day be resolved into algebraic equations.
Carl Jung
Image
I am this bundle of what has been, and what has been accomplished.
Carl Jung
Image
The majority of my patients consisted not of believers but of those who had lost their faith.
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.
Carl Jung
Image
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.
Carl Jung
Image
Modern man is battered by the fundamental forces of his own psyche.
Carl Jung
Image
Becoming conscious is of course a sacrilege against nature it is as though you had robbed the unconscious of something.
Carl Jung
Image
Man and woman become a devil to each other when they do not separate their spiritual paths, for the nature of created beings is always the nature of differentiation.
Carl Jung
Image
The angel personifies something new arising from the deep unconscious.
