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
But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, yea the very fiend himself— that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved— what then?
Carl Jung
Image
The most important question anyone can ask is: What myth am I living?
Carl Jung
Image
If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.
Carl Jung
Image
Recognition of the reality of evil necessarily relativizes the good, and the evil likewise, converting both into halves of a paradoxical whole.
Carl Jung
Image
Synchronistic events provide an immediate religious experience as a direct encounter with the compensatory patterning of events in nature as a whole, both inwardly and outwardly.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung

To become acquainted with oneself is a terrible shock.
Carl Jung
Image
The time is a critical one, for it marks the beginning of the second half of life, when a metanoia, a mental transformation, not infrequently occurs. (on being 36 yrs old)
Carl Jung
Image
One must be able to let things happen.
Carl Jung
Image
All ages before ours believed in gods in some form or other. Only an unparalleled impoverishment in symbolism could enable us to rediscover the gods as psychic factors, which is to say, as archetypes of the unconscious. No doubt this discovery is hardly credible as yet.
Carl Jung
Image
It is high time that we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to preach the art of seeing.
Carl Jung
Image
Healing proceeds from the depths to the heights.
Carl Jung
Image
The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic poison which alienates the possessor from the community.
Carl Jung
Image
Protection and security are only valuable if they do not cramp life excessively.
Carl Jung
Image
In thirty years I have treated many patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life, every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age had given their followers, and none of them was really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.
Carl Jung
Image
Someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, [is] an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Neurosis is an inner cleavage-the state of being at war with oneself.
Carl Jung
