No psychic value can disappear without being replaced by another of equivalent intensity.
Carl Jung
Image
The more intelligent and cultured a man is, the more subtly he can humbug himself.
Carl Jung
Image
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
Image
So they speak soothingly about progress and the greatest possible happiness, forgetting that happiness is itself poisoned if the measure of suffering has not been fulfilled.
Carl Jung
Image
Life calls us forth to independence, and anyone who does not heed this call because of childish laziness or timidity is threatened with neurosis. And once this has broken out, it becomes an increasingly valid reason for running away from life.
Carl Jung
Image
So the lion is the law-breaker. Just as to the primitive man the lion is the lawbreaker, the great nuisance, dangerous to human beings and to animals, that breaks into the Kraal at night and fetches the bull out of the herd: he is the destructive instinct.

Carl Jung
Image
Aging people should know that their lives are not mounting and unfolding but that an inexorable inner process forces the contraction of life. For a young person it is almost a sin and certainly a danger to be too much occupied with himself but for the aging person it is a duty and a necessity to give serious attention to himself.
Carl Jung
Image
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Carl Jung
Image
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychic depths are nature, and nature is creative life.
Carl Jung
Image
Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.
Carl Jung
Image
What happens in the life of Christ happens always and everywhere. In the Christian archetype all lives of this kind are prefigured.
Carl Jung
Image
From the viewpoint of analytic psychology, the theatre, aside from any aesthetic value, may be considered as an institution for the treatment of the mass complex.
Carl Jung
Image
In some way or other we are part of a single, all-embracing psyche, a single 'greatest man. . . .'
Carl Jung
Image
Whenever you hear anyone talking about a cultural or even about a human problem, you should never forget to inquire who the speaker really is. The more general the problem, the more the person will smuggle his or her own personal psychology into the account he or she gives of it.
Carl Jung
Image
When you succeed in awakening the Kundalini, so that it starts to move out of its mere potentiality, you necessarily start a world which is totally different from our world. It is the world of eternity.
Carl Jung
Image
For, in order to turn the individual into a function of the State, his dependence on anything beside the State must be taken from him.
Carl Jung
