Nothing is possible without love.
Carl Jung

It is a bewildering thing in human life that the things that cause the greatest fear is the source of the greatest wisdom.
Carl Jung

The psychopathology of the masses is rooted in the psychology of the individual
Carl Jung
Image
The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more there has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
Yoga in Mayfair or Fifth Avenue, or in any other place which is on the telephone, is a spiritual fake.
Carl Jung
Image
The whole point of Jesus's life was not that we should become exactly like him, but that we should become ourselves in the same way he became himself. Jesus was not the great exception but the great example.
Carl Jung
Image
Every psychic advance of man arises from the suffering of the soul.
Carl Jung
Image
I believe that we have no real access to who we really are except in God. Only when we rest in God can we find the safety, the spaciousness, and the scary freedom to be who we are, all that we are, more than we are, and less than we are.
Carl Jung
Image
A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is something that has to be lived and not talked about.
Carl Jung
Image
Trust that which gives you meaning and accept it as your guide

No concept is a carrier of life.
