It is the function of the Church to oppose all original experience, because this can only be unorthodox.
Carl Jung
Image
Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power.
Carl Jung
Image

Only one who has risked the fight with the dragon and is not overcome by it wins the treasure hard to attain. He alone has a genuine claim to self-confidence, for he has faced the dark ground of his self and thereby has gained himself. This experience gives him faith and trust.
Carl Jung
Image
No psychic value can disappear without being replaced by another of equivalent intensity.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
Moreover, my ancestors' souls are sustained by the atmosphere of the house, since I answer for them the questions that their lives once left behind. I carve out rough answers as best I can. I have even drawn them on the walls. It is as if a silent, greater family, stretching down the centuries, were peopling the house.
Carl Jung
Image
It is just man's turning away from instinct--his opposing himself to instinct--that creates consciousness. Instinct is nature andseeks to perpetuate nature while consciousness can only seek culture or its denial.
Carl Jung
Image
I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it.
Carl Jung
Image
Protection and security are only valuable if they do not cramp life excessively.
Carl Jung
Image
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.
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
Sensation tell us a thing is. Thinking tell us what it is this thing is. Feeling tells us what this thing is to us.
Carl Jung
Image
The totality of the psyche can never be grasped by the intellect alone.
Carl Jung
