Every victory contains the germ of future defeat.
Carl Jung
Image
It is the function of the Church to oppose all original experience, because this can only be unorthodox.
Carl Jung
Image
The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows it to realize its supreme purpose through him.
Carl Jung
Image
Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable just to be able to go on living.
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.

VOCATUS ATQUE NON VOCATUS DEUS ADERIT.

Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it
Carl Jung
Image
Deeply listening to music opens up new avenues of research I'd never even dreamed of. I feel from now on music should be an essential part of every analysis.
Carl Jung
Image
Becoming conscious is of course a sacrilege against nature it is as though you had robbed the unconscious of something.
Carl Jung
Image
Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.
Carl Jung
Image
The educated man tries to repress the inferior one in himself, without realizing that by this he forces the latter to become revolutionary.
Carl Jung
Image
Just imagine what would happen if practicing physicians, the ones who have come into contact directly with suffering humanity, had some acquaintance with Eastern systems of healing. The Spirit of the East surges through every pore as a balm for all afflictions.
Carl Jung
Image
The more veiled becomes the outside world, steadily losing in colour, tone and passions, the more urgently the inner world calls us
Carl Jung
Image
Everyone knows nowadays that people 'have complexes'. What is not so well known, though far more important theoretically, is that complexes can have us.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious psyche believes in life after death
Carl Jung
Image
What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and our feelings do not suffice to form even an approximate conception of it. The dissolution of our time-bound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning.
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.
Carl Jung
Image
Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.

The mandala is an archetypal image whose occurrence is attested throughout the ages. It signifies the wholeness of the self. This circular image represents the wholeness of the psychic ground or, to put it in mythic terms, the divinity incarnate in man.
Carl Jung
