If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.
Carl Jung
Image
Criticism can be effective when there is something that must be destroyed or dissolved, but it is capable only of harm when there is something to be built.
Carl Jung
Image
Just as man as a social being, cannot in the long run exist without a tie to the community, so the individual will never find the real justification for his existence, and his own spiritual and moral autonomy, anywhere except in an extramundane principle capable of relativizing the overpowering influence of external factors.
Carl Jung
Image
Somewhere, right at the bottom of one’s own being, one generally does know where one should go and what one should do. But there are times when the clown we call “I” behaves in such a distracting fashion that the inner voice cannot make its presence felt.
Carl Jung
Image
Without consciousness there would, practically speaking, be no world, for the world exists as such only in so far as it is consciously reflected and considered by a psyche. Consciousness is a precondition of being.
Carl Jung
Image
My interests drew me in different directions. On the one hand I was powerfully attracted by science, with its truths based on facts on the other hand I was fascinated by everything to do with comparative religion. [...] In science I missed the factor of meaning and in religion, that of empiricism.

The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.
Carl Jung
Image
Knowledge does not enrich us it removes us more and more from the mythic world in which we were once at home by right of birth.
Carl Jung
Image
What happens in the life of Christ happens always and everywhere. In the Christian archetype all lives of this kind are prefigured.
Carl Jung
Image
You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence.
Carl Jung
Image
Obviously astrology has much to offer psychology, but what the latter can offer its elder sister is less evident. So far as I judge, it would seem to me advantageous for astrology to take the existence of psychology into account, above all the psychology of the personality and of the unconscious.
Carl Jung
Image
The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
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
Trust that which gives you meaning and accept it as your guide
Carl Jung
Image
Becoming conscious is of course a sacrilege against nature it is as though you had robbed the unconscious of something.
Carl Jung
Image
No concept is a carrier of life.

Image
Deeply listening to music opens up new avenues of research I'd never even dreamed of. I feel from now on music should be an essential part of every analysis.

The psychotherapist learns little or nothing from his successes. They mainly confirm him in his mistakes, while his failures, on the other hand, are priceless experiences in that they not only open up the way to a deeper truth, but force him to change his views and methods.
Carl Jung
Image
It is also possible for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail
