The growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement.
Carl Jung
Image
It is astounding that man, the instigator, inventor and vehicle of all these developments, the originator of all judgements and decisions and the planner of the future, must make himself such a quantité negligeable.
Carl Jung

The psyche is a natural phenomenon. All aspects of the psyche, even those which seem pathological or destructive, actually serve the function of furthering our psychological development.
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

What is not brought to consciousness, comes to us as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself.

Carl Jung
