Modern man may assert that he can dispense with them, and he may bolster his opinion by insisting that there is no scientific evidence of their truth. But since we are dealing with invisible and unknowable things (for God is beyond human understanding, and there is no mean of proving immortality), why should we bother with evidence?
Carl Jung

The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
Carl Jung

No psychic value can disappear without being replaced by another of equivalent intensity.
Carl Jung

The sight of a child…will arouse certain longings in adult, civilized persons — longings which relate to the unfulfilled desires and needs of those parts of the personality which have been blotted out of the total picture in favor of the adapted persona.
Carl Jung
Image
I am looking forward enormously to getting back to the sea again, where the overstimulated psyche can recover in the presence of that infinite peace and spaciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
It is astounding that man, the instigator, inventor and vehicle of all these developments, the originator of all judgements and decisions and the planner of the future, must make himself such a quantité negligeable.
Carl Jung
Image
The primary cause of unhappiness in the world today is... lack of faith.
Carl Jung
Image
The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.
Carl Jung
Image
The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering.
Carl Jung
Image
Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?
Carl Jung
Image
From the viewpoint of analytic psychology, the theatre, aside from any aesthetic value, may be considered as an institution for the treatment of the mass complex.
Carl Jung
Image
If there is a fear of falling, the only safety consists in deliberately jumping.
Carl Jung
Image
To me dreams are part of nature, which harbors no intention to deceive but expresses something as best it can.

No concept is a carrier of life.

It is not for us . . . to send out missionaries to foreign peoples it is our task to build up our own Western culture.
