Carl Jung
Image
But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, yea the very fiend himself— that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved— what then?
Carl Jung
Image
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Carl Jung
Image
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl Jung
Image
One of the main functions of formalized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God.
Carl Jung
Image
Mind and matter are two different aspects of one and the same thing.
Carl Jung
Image
In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.
Carl Jung
Image
Envy does not allow humanity to sleep.
Carl Jung
Image
What we lack is intensity of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Only a life lived in a certain spirit is worth living. It is a remarkable fact that a life lived entirely from the ego is dull not only for the person himself but for all concerned.
Carl Jung
Image
Yahweh [God] must become man precisely because he has done man a wrong. He, the guardian of justice, knows that every wrong must be expiated, and Wisdom knows that moral law is above even him. Because his creature has surpassed him he must regenerate himself
