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.

Modern man is battered by the fundamental forces of his own psyche.
Carl Jung
Image
Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
Carl Jung
Image
We often dream about people from whom we receive a letter by the next post. I have ascertained on several occasions that at the moment when the dream occurred the letter was already lying in the post-office of the addressee.
Carl Jung
Image
Dreams are symbolic in order that they cannot be understood in order that the wish, which is the source of the dream, may remain unknown.
Carl Jung
Image
It is not for us . . . to send out missionaries to foreign peoples it is our task to build up our own Western culture.

Wherever an inferiority complex exists, there is a good reason for it.

Magic is the science of the jungle.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychiatrist knows only too well how each of us becomes the helpless but not pitiable victim of his own sentiments. Sentimentality is the superstructure erected upon brutality.
Carl Jung
Image
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Carl Jung
Image
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
Carl Jung
Image
What we do not make conscious emerges later as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
My work as a psychoanalyst is to help patients recover their lost wholeness and to strengthen the psyche so it can resist future dismemberment.
Carl Jung
Image
Conflicts create the fire of affects and emotions and like every fire it has two aspects: that of burning and that of giving light.
Carl Jung
Image
The seat of faith, however, is not consciousness but spontaneous religious experience, which brings the individual's faith into immediate relation with God.
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 reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.
Carl Jung
Image
I cannot prove to you that God exists, but my work has proved empirically that the pattern of God exists in every man and that this pattern in the individual has at its disposal the greatest transforming energies of which life is capable. Find this pattern in your own individual self and life is transformed.

It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
Carl Jung
Image
The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man.
Carl Jung

When religion stops talking about animals it will be all downhill.
