Enlightenment consists not merely in the seeing of luminous shapes and visions, but in making the darkness visible. The latter procedure is more difficult and therefore, unpopular.
Carl Jung
Image
We are a psychic process which we do not control, or only partly direct. Consequently, we cannot have any final judgment about ourselves or our lives.
Carl Jung
Image
Summoned or not, the god will come.
Carl Jung
Image
Your vision will be clearer only when you manage to see within your heart.
Carl Jung
Image
Music is the application of sounds to the canvas of silence.

Where love stops, power begins, and violence, and terror
Carl Jung
Image
Whenever there is a reaching down into innermost experience, into the nucleus of personality, most people are overcome by fear and many run away. . . The risk of inner experience, the adventure of the spirit, is in any case alien to most human beings. The possibility that such experience might have psychic reality is anathema to them.
Carl Jung
Image
In the products of the unconscious we discover mandala symbols, that is, circular and quaternity figures which express wholeness, and whenever we wish to express wholeness, we employ just such figures.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is a luminous pause between two mysteries that are yet one.
Carl Jung
Image
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
Carl Jung
Image
It is just man's turning away from instinct--his opposing himself to instinct--that creates consciousness. Instinct is nature andseeks to perpetuate nature while consciousness can only seek culture or its denial.
Carl Jung
Image
What is not brought to consciousness, comes to us as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
So the lion is the law-breaker. Just as to the primitive man the lion is the lawbreaker, the great nuisance, dangerous to human beings and to animals, that breaks into the Kraal at night and fetches the bull out of the herd: he is the destructive instinct.
Carl Jung
Image
The underlying, primary psychic reality is so inconceivably complex that it can be grasped only at the farthest reach of intuition, and then but very dimly. That is why it needs symbols.
Carl Jung
Image
It was most essential for me to have a normal life in the real world as a counterpoise to that strange inner world. My family and my profession remained the base to which I could return.
Carl Jung
Image
Healing proceeds from the depths to the heights.
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 psychiatrist knows only too well how each of us becomes the helpless but not pitiable victim of his own sentiments. Sentimentality is the superstructure erected upon brutality.
Carl Jung
Image
The dream is a series of images, which are apparently contradictory and nonsensical, but arise in reality from psychologic material which yields a clear meaning.
Carl Jung
