Quote

It is high time that we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to preach the art of seeing.

More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world. The more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. Naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process.
Carl Jung
Image
Criticism can be effective when there is something that must be destroyed or dissolved, but it is capable only of harm when there is something to be built.
Carl Jung
Image
I believe that we have no real access to who we really are except in God. Only when we rest in God can we find the safety, the spaciousness, and the scary freedom to be who we are, all that we are, more than we are, and less than we are.
Carl Jung
Image
The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years sometimes it grows turbid.
Carl Jung
Image
In the history of the collective as in the history of the individual, everything depends on the development of consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.
Carl Jung
Image
The only thing we have to fear on this planet is man.
Carl Jung
Image
Thanks to the acuteness of his mind, he saw through the poverty of philosophical and Gnostic knowledge, and contemptuously rejected it.
Carl Jung
Image
All ages before ours believed in gods in some form or other. Only an unparalleled impoverishment in symbolism could enable us to rediscover the gods as psychic factors, which is to say, as archetypes of the unconscious. No doubt this discovery is hardly credible as yet.
Carl Jung
Image
The conscious mind allows itself to be trained like a parrot, but the unconscious does not — which is why St. Augustine thanked God for not making him responsible for his dreams.
Carl Jung
Image
The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is something that has to be lived and not talked about.
Carl Jung
Image
Most of our difficulties come from losing contact with our instincts, with the age-old forgotten wisdom stored up in us.
Carl Jung
Image
Only a fool is interested in other people's guilt, since he cannot alter it. The wise man learns only from his own guilt. He will ask himself: Who am I that all this should happen to me? To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart.
Carl Jung
Image
To the critical intelligence, nothing is left of absolute reality.
Carl Jung
Image
There was need of a phantastic, indestructible optimism, and one far removed from all sense of reality, in order, for example, to discover in the shameful death of Christ really the highest salvation and the redemption of the world.
Carl Jung
Image
Summoned or not, the god will come.
Carl Jung
Image
Nature seemed to me full of wonders, and I wanted to steep myself in them. Every stone, every plant, every single thing seemed alive and indescribably marvelous. I immersed myself in nature, crawled, as it were, into the very essence of nature and away from the whole human world.

Called or not, God is always there.

The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.
