Image
Astrology is assured of recognition from psychology, without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.
Carl Jung
Image
We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
Carl Jung
Image
Be grateful for your difficulties and challenges, for they hold blessings. In fact... Man needs difficulties they are necessary for health personal growth, individuation and self-actualisation.
Carl Jung
Image
Never diagnose a (client) until after their therapy is over.
Carl Jung
Image
Medicines cure diseases, but only doctors can cure patients.
Carl Jung
Image
Even a lie is a psychic fact.
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
Our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the root of our being. Dealing with the unconscious has become a question of life for us.
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
Image
The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious wants to flow into consciousness in order to reach the light, but at the same time it continually thwarts itself, because it would rather remain unconscious. That is to say, God wants to become man, but not quite.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good: not only dark but also light, not only bestial, semihuman, and demonic but superhuman, spiritual, and, in the classical sense of the word, divine.
Carl Jung
Image
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
Imagination is a concentrated extract of all the forces of life.
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 teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn't even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any questions.
Carl Jung
Image
Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.
Carl Jung
Image
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Carl Jung
Image
Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.
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
