Dreams are the guiding words of the Soul.
Carl Jung
Image
The whole point of Jesus's life was not that we should become exactly like him, but that we should become ourselves in the same way he became himself. Jesus was not the great exception but the great example.
Carl Jung
Image
When an individual does not become conscious of their inner contradictions, the world acts out the conflict and is torn in opposite halves.
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
Personality is the supreme realization of the innate idiosyncracy of a living being. It is an act of high courage flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to the universal conditions of existence coupled with the greatest possible freedom for self-determination.
Carl Jung
Image
Thanks to the acuteness of his mind, he saw through the poverty of philosophical and Gnostic knowledge, and contemptuously rejected it.
Carl Jung
Image
Even a lie is a psychic fact.
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
Simple things are always the most difficult.
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
Never diagnose a (client) until after their therapy is over.
Carl Jung
Image
It is also possible for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail
Carl Jung
Image
But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning — for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.
Carl Jung
Image
Invited or not, God is present.
Carl Jung
Image
God enters through the wound.
Carl Jung
Image
The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.
Carl Jung
Image
Sometimes a tree tells you more than can be read in books.
Carl Jung
Image
Just as we tend to assume that the world is as we see it, we naively suppose that people are as we imagine them to be.
Carl Jung
Image
One of the main functions of formalized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God.
Carl Jung
Image
Ultimate truth, if there be such a thing, demands the concert of many voices.
Carl Jung
