We are living in what the Greeks called the kairos - the right moment - for a 'metamorphosis of the gods', of the fundamental principles and symbols. This peculiarity of our time, which is certainly not of our conscious choosing, is the expression of the unconscious man within us who is changing.
Carl Jung

Whenever you hear anyone talking about a cultural or even about a human problem, you should never forget to inquire who the speaker really is. The more general the problem, the more the person will smuggle his or her own personal psychology into the account he or she gives of it.
Carl Jung
Image
What happens in the life of Christ happens always and everywhere. In the Christian archetype all lives of this kind are prefigured.
Carl Jung
Image
A criminal becomes a popular figure because he unburdens in no small degree the consciences of his fellow man, for now they know once more where evil is to be found.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams who looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung
Image
To me dreams are part of nature, which harbors no intention to deceive but expresses something as best it can.
Carl Jung
Image
Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
Carl Jung
Image
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is a luminous pause between two mysteries that are yet one.
Carl Jung
Image
My mandalas were cryptograms concerning the state of the self which was presented to me anew each day...I guarded them like precious pearls....It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation.
Carl Jung
Image
Every living soul has different talents, different desires, different faculties. Be yourself, for even if you deceive the entire world, you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing.
Carl Jung
Image
You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.
Carl Jung
Image
Hitler's movement is near to Mohammedanism.
Carl Jung
Image
It is on the whole probably that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it.
Carl Jung
