More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
The underlying, primary psychic reality is so inconceivably complex that it can be grasped only at the farthest reach of intuition, and then but very dimly. That is why it needs symbols.
Carl Jung
Image
In thirty years I have treated many patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life, every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age had given their followers, and none of them was really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.
Carl Jung
Image
That which compels us to create a substitute for ourselves is not the external lack of objects, but our incapacity to lovingly include a thing outside of ourselves
Carl Jung
Image
As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols.
Carl Jung
Image
His retreat into himself is not a final renunciation of the world, but a search for quietude, where alone it is possible for him to make his contribution to the life of the community.
Carl Jung
Image
Wisdom accepts that all things have two sides
Carl Jung
Image
Dream analysis stands or falls with [the hypothesis of the unconscious]. Without it the dream appears to be merely a freak of nature, a meaningless conglomerate of memory-fragments left over from the happenings of the day.
Carl Jung
Image
Dream the dream onward.
Carl Jung
Image
Projection [of our own shadow] makes the whole world a replica of our own unknown face.
Carl Jung
Image
Every Mother contains her daughter in herself and every daughter her mother and every mother extends backwards into her mother and forwards into her daughter.
Carl Jung
Image
Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct 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
And what shall we know of this life on earth after death? The dissolution of our timebound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning. Rather, does the little finger know itself a member of the hand.
Carl Jung
Image
Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them.
Carl Jung
Image
If there is a fear of falling, the only safety consists in deliberately jumping.
Carl Jung
Image
Summoned or not, the god will come.
Carl Jung
Image
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
Image
My interests drew me in different directions. On the one hand I was powerfully attracted by science, with its truths based on facts on the other hand I was fascinated by everything to do with comparative religion. [...] In science I missed the factor of meaning and in religion, that of empiricism.
Carl Jung

Paul hardly ever allows the real Jesus of Nazareth to get a word in.

Learn your techniques well and be prepared to let them go when you touch the human soul.
