Creativity is the art that can give rise to visionary metaphorical relationships, as opposed to purely psy-chological ones.
Carl Jung
Image
You must live life in such a spirit that you make in every moment the best of possibilities.
Carl Jung
Image
We do not feel as if we were producing the dreams, it is rather as if the dreams came to us. They are not subject to our control but obey their own laws.
Carl Jung
Image
Wo die Liebe herrscht, da gibt es keinen machtwillen, und wo die macht den vorrang hat, da fehlt die Liebe. Das eine ist der Schatten des andern. Translation: Where love rules, there is no will to power and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung
Image
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of awareness of darkness... as the contrast between what we have and how it could be worse is vital to appreciate anything, including our life, and so be happy and grateful
Carl Jung
Image
I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.
Carl Jung
Image
The most important question anyone can ask is: What myth am I living?
Carl Jung
Image
As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols.
Carl Jung
Image
Psychiatrists classify a person as neurotic if he suffers from his problems in living, and a psychotic if he makes others suffer.
Carl Jung
Image
Obviously astrology has much to offer psychology, but what the latter can offer its elder sister is less evident. So far as I judge, it would seem to me advantageous for astrology to take the existence of psychology into account, above all the psychology of the personality and of the unconscious.

The difference between a good life and a bad life is how well you walk through the fire
Carl Jung
Image
What we do not make conscious emerges later as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. They then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a flame may dart out and set fire to his own house. Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force.
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
Image
If a union is to take place between opposites like spirit and matter, conscious and unconscious, bright and dark, and so on, it will happen in a third thing, which represents not a compromise but something new.
Carl Jung
Image
The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
Carl Jung
Image
If I accept the fact that a god is absolute and beyond all human experiences, he leaves me cold. I do not affect him, nor does he affect me. But if I know that a god is a powerful impulse in my soul, at once I must concern myself with him, for then he can become important
Carl Jung
Image
But, if you have nothing at all to create, then perhaps you create yourself.
Carl Jung
Image
He who looks without, dreams he who looks within, awakes.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is a luminous pause between two mysteries that are yet one.
Carl Jung
