For a woman, the typical danger emanating from the unconscious comes from above, from the spiritual sphere personified by the animus, whereas for a man it comes from the chthonic realm of the world and woman, i.e., the anima projected on to the world.
Carl Jung
Image
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
Carl Jung
Image
Shadow work is the path of the heart warrior.
Carl Jung
Image
Whether you call the principle of existence God, matter, energy, or anything else you like, you have created nothing you have merely changed a symbol. Eastern and Western Thinking, 1938
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
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
The seat of faith, however, is not consciousness but spontaneous religious experience, which brings the individual's faith into immediate relation with God.
Carl Jung
Image
The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.
Carl Jung
Image
It is only our deeds that reveal who we are.
Carl Jung
Image
The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experience you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous character.
Carl Jung
Image
You must live life in such a spirit that you make in every moment the best of possibilities.
Carl Jung
Image
Life calls us forth to independence, and anyone who does not heed this call because of childish laziness or timidity is threatened with neurosis. And once this has broken out, it becomes an increasingly valid reason for running away from life.
Carl Jung
Image
The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world. The more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. Naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process.
Carl Jung
Image
The greater the tension, the greater is the potential.
Carl Jung
Image
How difficult it is to reach anything approaching a moderate and relatively calm point of view in the midst of one's emotions.
Carl Jung
Image
If you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem.
Carl Jung
Image
Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
Carl Jung
Image
It is proverbial, of course, that man never learns from history, and, as a rule, in respect to a problem of the present, it can teach us simply nothing. The new must be made through untrodden regions, without suppositions, and often, unfortunately, without piety also.
Carl Jung
Image
It is the function of the Church to oppose all original experience, because this can only be unorthodox.
Carl Jung
Image
There is no light without shadow, and no psychic wholeness without imperfection.
Carl Jung
