More quotes by Carl Jung
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
Synchronicity reveals the meaningful connections between the subjective and objective world.
Carl Jung
The psychopathology of the masses is rooted in the psychology of the individual
Carl Jung
Whenever there is a reaching down into innermost experience, into the nucleus of personality, most people are overcome by fear and many run away. . . The risk of inner experience, the adventure of the spirit, is in any case alien to most human beings. The possibility that such experience might have psychic reality is anathema to them.
Carl Jung
When religion stops talking about animals it will be all downhill.
Carl Jung
Not nature, but the genius of mankind, has knotted the hangman's noose with which it can execute itself at any moment.
Carl Jung
One is always in the dark about one's own personality. One needs others to get to know oneself.
Carl Jung
Since psyche and matter are contained in one and the same world, and moreover are in continuous contact with one another and ultimately rest on irrepresentable, transcendental factors, it is not only possible but fairly probable, even, that psyche and matter are two different aspects of the same thing.
Carl Jung
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.
Carl Jung
To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real.
Carl Jung
It is only our deeds that reveal who we are.
Carl Jung
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
Even a lie is a psychic fact.
Carl Jung
Creative power is mightier than its possessor.
Carl Jung
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Carl Jung
In knowing ourselves to be unique, we possess the capacity for becoming conscious of the infinite. But only then!
Carl Jung
I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.
Carl Jung
Life calls us forth to independence, and anyone who does not heed this call because of childish laziness or timidity is threatened with neurosis. And once this has broken out, it becomes an increasingly valid reason for running away from life.
Carl Jung
One finds one's destiny on the path one takes to avoid it.
Carl Jung
We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.
Carl Jung
