If you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem.

Intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but something outside of the province of reason.
Carl Jung
Image
Just as man as a social being, cannot in the long run exist without a tie to the community, so the individual will never find the real justification for his existence, and his own spiritual and moral autonomy, anywhere except in an extramundane principle capable of relativizing the overpowering influence of external factors.
Carl Jung
Image
From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.
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

Somewhere, right at the bottom of one’s own being, one generally does know where one should go and what one should do. But there are times when the clown we call “I” behaves in such a distracting fashion that the inner voice cannot make its presence felt.
Carl Jung
Image
Our western mind lacking all culture in this respect, has never yet devised a concept, not even a name for the union of opposites through the middle path, that most fundamental item of inward experience which could respectably be set against the Chinese concept of Tao.
Carl Jung
Image
The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one's own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, when you find that you can not support yourself. Only this experience can give you an indestructible foundation.
Carl Jung
Image
Individualization does not shut one out from the world, but gathers the world to oneself.
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
Image
Science has destroyed even the refuge of the inner life. What was once a sheltering haven has become a place of terror

Intuition (is) perception via the unconscious
