An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough.
Carl Jung
Image
Every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche.
Carl Jung
Image
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Carl Jung
Image

Conflict exists strictly as an opportunity to raise our consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
One is forced to speak not of what is held in common between the cultures, but what is held in common between the myths, and that in its simplest archetypal forms.
Carl Jung
Image
Just as man as a social being, cannot in the long run exist without a tie to the community, so the individual will never find the real justification for his existence, and his own spiritual and moral autonomy, anywhere except in an extramundane principle capable of relativizing the overpowering influence of external factors.
Carl Jung

What we lack is intensity of life.
Carl Jung
Image
...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
Image
The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.
Carl Jung
Image

Carl Jung
Image
Plato's world of ideas is beautiful.
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
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
The only thing we have to fear on this planet is man.
Carl Jung
Image
The more intelligent and cultured a man is, the more subtly he can humbug himself.
Carl Jung
Image
Not nature, but the genius of mankind, has knotted the hangman's noose with which it can execute itself at any moment.
Carl Jung
Image
Simple things are always the most difficult.
Carl Jung
Image
The self as the essence of individuality is unitemporal and unique as an archetypal symbol it is a God-image and therefore universal and eternal.
Carl Jung
Image
If you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem.
