Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
If there is a fear of falling, the only safety consists in deliberately jumping.
Carl Jung

The self is not only the centre but also the whole circumference which embraces both conscious and unconscious it is the centre of this totality, just as the ego is the centre of consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.
Carl Jung
Image
Creativity is the art that can give rise to visionary metaphorical relationships, as opposed to purely psy-chological ones.
Carl Jung
Image
But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning — for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.
Carl Jung
Image
Ultimate truth, if there be such a thing, demands the concert of many voices.
