Quote

We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.

Carl Jung

We discover ourselves through others.
Carl Jung
Image
One must be able to let things happen.
Carl Jung
Image
The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego-consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends.
Carl Jung
Image
An archetypal content expresses itself, first and foremost, in metaphors.
Carl Jung
Image
All true things must change and only that which changes remains true.
Carl Jung
Image
The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.
Carl Jung
Image
In the second half of life the necessity is imposed of recognizing no longer the validity of our former ideals but of their contraries. Of perceiving the error in what was previously our conviction, of sensing the untruth in what was our truth, and of weighing the degree of opposition, and even of hostility, in what we took to be love.
Carl Jung

Plato's world of ideas is beautiful.
Carl Jung
Image
Perfection belongs to the Gods the most we can hope for is excellence.
Carl Jung
Image
What is not brought to consciousness, comes to us as fate.
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
The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.
Carl Jung
Image
The difference between a good life and a bad life is how well you walk through the fire
Carl Jung
Image
Be grateful for your difficulties and challenges, for they hold blessings. In fact... Man needs difficulties they are necessary for health personal growth, individuation and self-actualisation.
Carl Jung
Image
The majority of my patients consisted not of believers but of those who had lost their faith.
Carl Jung
Image
The educated man tries to repress the inferior one in himself, without realizing that by this he forces the latter to become revolutionary.
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
Only the wounded physician heals.
Carl Jung
Image
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
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
