More quotes by Carl Jung
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
The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experience you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous character.
Carl Jung
Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience.
Carl Jung
How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious?
Carl Jung
The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more there has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things.
Carl Jung
We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. He is already on the way he is like Mohammad. The emotion in Germany is Islamic warlike and Islamic. They are all drunk with wild god. That can be the historic future.
Carl Jung
The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.
Carl Jung
Fortunately, in her kindness and patience, Nature has never put the fatal question as to the meaning of their lives into the mouths of most people. And where no one asks, no one needs to answer.
Carl Jung
When an individual does not become conscious of their inner contradictions, the world acts out the conflict and is torn in opposite halves.
Carl Jung
That which we do not confront in ourselves we will meet as fate.
Carl Jung
...The unconscious has no time. There is no trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all.
Carl Jung
Projection [of our own shadow] makes the whole world a replica of our own unknown face.
Carl Jung
How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole
Carl Jung
Hitler is a medicine man type of leader.
Carl Jung
The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced and contrasted and compared to sadness. In comparing how an experience could have been worse we develop gratitude and happiness, while if we compare it how it could have been better we develop bitterness and sadness.
Carl Jung
One is always in the dark about one's own personality. One needs others to get to know oneself.
Carl Jung
Psychoanalysis cannot be considered a method of education if by education we mean the topiary art of clipping a tree into a beautiful artificial shape. But those who have a higher conception of education will prize most the method of cultivating a tree so that it fulfils to perfection its own natural conditions of growth.
Carl Jung
Part of the human Self or Soul is not subject to laws of space and time.
Carl Jung
To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real.
Carl Jung
The psychotherapist learns little or nothing from his successes. They mainly confirm him in his mistakes, while his failures, on the other hand, are priceless experiences in that they not only open up the way to a deeper truth, but force him to change his views and methods.
Carl Jung
