Quote

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.

Once upon a time men were possessed by devils. Now they are not less obsessed by ideas
Carl Jung
Image
We are a psychic process which we do not control, or only partly direct. Consequently, we cannot have any final judgment about ourselves or our lives.
Carl Jung
Image
We have forgotten the age-old fact that God speaks chiefly through dreams and visions.
Carl Jung

I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it.
Carl Jung
Image
We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. He is already on the way he is like Muhammad.
Carl Jung

The principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering.
Carl Jung
Image
There was need of a phantastic, indestructible optimism, and one far removed from all sense of reality, in order, for example, to discover in the shameful death of Christ really the highest salvation and the redemption of the world.
Carl Jung
Image
Recognition of the reality of evil necessarily relativizes the good, and the evil likewise, converting both into halves of a paradoxical whole.
Carl Jung
Image
Twelve experts gathered in one room equal one big idiot.
Carl Jung
Image
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
Carl Jung
Image
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
Carl Jung
Image
In thirty years I have treated many patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life, every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age had given their followers, and none of them was really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.
Carl Jung
Image
Religion is a defense against the experience of God.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is something that has to be lived and not talked about.
Carl Jung
Image
Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.
Carl Jung
Image
The man of today, who resembles more or less the collective ideal, has made his heart into a den of murderers, as can easily be proved by the analysis of his unconscious, even though he himself is not in the least disturbed by it.
Carl Jung
Image
The self is defined psychologically as the psychic totality of the individual. Anything that a [person] postulates as being a greater totality than [oneself] can become a symbol of the self. For this reason the symbol of the self is not always as total as the definition would require.
Carl Jung
Image
I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me.
Carl Jung
Image
As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols.
Carl Jung

Invited or not, God is present.
