Image
To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed and suddenly we realize how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.
Carl Jung
Image
The underlying, primary psychic reality is so inconceivably complex that it can be grasped only at the farthest reach of intuition, and then but very dimly. That is why it needs symbols.
Carl Jung
Image
Enchantment is the oldest form of medicine.
Carl Jung
Image
A criminal becomes a popular figure because he unburdens in no small degree the consciences of his fellow man, for now they know once more where evil is to be found.
Carl Jung
Image
Music is the application of sounds to the canvas of silence.
Carl Jung
Image
The dream is a series of images, which are apparently contradictory and nonsensical, but arise in reality from psychologic material which yields a clear meaning.
Carl Jung
Image
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Carl Jung
Image
A [wo]man who is unconscious of [her/]himself acts in a blind, instinctive way and is in addition fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbour.
Carl Jung
Image
Remember that the only God man comes in contact with is his own God, called Spirit, Soul and Mind, or Consciousness, and these three are one.
Carl Jung
Image
All true things must change and only that which changes remains true.
Carl Jung
Image
The squaring of the circle is a stage on the way to the unconscious, a point of transition leading to a goal lying as yet unformulated beyond it. It is one of those paths to the centre.
Carl Jung
Image
The most important question anyone can ask is: What myth am I living?
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 'scream' is always just that - a noise and not music.
Carl Jung
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.
Carl Jung
Image
On the level of the Son there is no answer to the question of good and evil there is only an incurable separation of the opposites. . . . It seems to me to be the Holy Spirit's task and charge to reconcile and reunite the opposites in the human individual through a special development of the human soul.
Carl Jung
Image
The spirit is the life of the body seen from within, and the body the outward manifestation of the life of the spirit-the two being really one.
Carl Jung
Image
One of the main functions of formalized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God.
Carl Jung
Image
Every living soul has different talents, different desires, different faculties. Be yourself, for even if you deceive the entire world, you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing.
Carl Jung
Image
The self as the essence of individuality is unitemporal and unique as an archetypal symbol it is a God-image and therefore universal and eternal.
Carl Jung
