I know that previously I would not have dared to express myself so explicitly about so uncertain a matter. I can take this risk because I am now in my eighth decade, and the changing opinions of men scarcely impress me any more the thoughts of the old masters are of greater value to me than the philosophical prejudices of the Western mind.
Carl Jung
Image
Projection [of our own shadow] makes the whole world a replica of our own unknown face.
Carl Jung
Image
Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.
Carl Jung
Image
Yoga in Mayfair or Fifth Avenue, or in any other place which is on the telephone, is a spiritual fake.
Carl Jung
Image
I had always been impressed by the fact that there are surprisingly many individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and yet are not stupid, and an equal number who obviously do use their minds but in an amazingly stupid way.
Carl Jung
Image
You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence.
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
One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.
Carl Jung
Image
The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
Carl Jung
Image
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams who looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung
Image
Science has destroyed even the refuge of the inner life. What was once a sheltering haven has become a place of terror
Carl Jung
Image
What we lack is intensity of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is teleology par excellence it is the intrinsic striving towards a goal, and the living organism is a system of directed aims which seek to fulfill themselves.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is a luminous pause between two mysteries that are yet one.
Carl Jung
Image
A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots.
Carl Jung
Image
The principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering.
Carl Jung
Image
The more veiled becomes the outside world, steadily losing in colour, tone and passions, the more urgently the inner world calls us
Carl Jung
Image
We don't get wounded alone and we don't heal alone.
Carl Jung
Image
Synchronistic events provide an immediate religious experience as a direct encounter with the compensatory patterning of events in nature as a whole, both inwardly and outwardly.
Carl Jung
