Image
No psychic value can disappear without being replaced by another of equivalent intensity.
Carl Jung
Image
I believe that we have no real access to who we really are except in God. Only when we rest in God can we find the safety, the spaciousness, and the scary freedom to be who we are, all that we are, more than we are, and less than we are.
Carl Jung
Image
But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning — for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious psyche believes in life after death
Carl Jung
Image
We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. For us, this becomes a real art... Consciousness is forever interfering, helping, correcting, and negating, never leaving the single growth of the psychic processes in peace.
Carl Jung
Image
The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.
Carl Jung
Image
The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
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
Only the wounded physician heals.
Carl Jung
Image
Neurosis is the natural by-product of pain avoidance.
Carl Jung
Image
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Carl Jung
Image
Dream analysis stands or falls with [the hypothesis of the unconscious]. Without it the dream appears to be merely a freak of nature, a meaningless conglomerate of memory-fragments left over from the happenings of the day.
Carl Jung
Image
Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force
Carl Jung
Image
It is high time that we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to preach the art of seeing.
Carl Jung
Image
Neurosis is an inner cleavage-the state of being at war with oneself.
Carl Jung
Image
The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.
Carl Jung
Image
So often among so-called primitives one comes across spiritual personalities who immediately inspire respect, as though they were the fully matured products of an undisturbed fate.
Carl Jung
Image
Psychoanalysis cannot be considered a method of education if by education we mean the topiary art of clipping a tree into a beautiful artificial shape. But those who have a higher conception of education will prize most the method of cultivating a tree so that it fulfils to perfection its own natural conditions of growth.
Carl Jung
Image
If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.
Carl Jung
Image
We don't so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.
Carl Jung
