Intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but something outside of the province of reason.
Carl Jung
Image
Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.
Carl Jung
Image
The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.
