Trust that which gives you meaning and accept it as your guide
Carl Jung
Image
Someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, [is] an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow.
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
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

The more intelligent and cultured a man is, the more subtly he can humbug himself.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychiatrist knows only too well how each of us becomes the helpless but not pitiable victim of his own sentiments. Sentimentality is the superstructure erected upon brutality.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
The greatest sin is to be unconscious.
Carl Jung
Image
The descent into the depths always seems to precede the ascent.
Carl Jung
Image
As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know.
Carl Jung
Image
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Carl Jung
Image
What we lack is intensity of life.
Carl Jung
Image
You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence.
Carl Jung
Image
In the history of the collective as in the history of the individual, everything depends on the development of consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
It was most essential for me to have a normal life in the real world as a counterpoise to that strange inner world. My family and my profession remained the base to which I could return.
Carl Jung
