Special knowledge is a terrible disadvantage.
Carl Jung
Image
It is high time that we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to preach the art of seeing.
Carl Jung
Image
Our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the root of our being. Dealing with the unconscious has become a question of life for us.
Carl Jung
Image
The whole point of Jesus's life was not that we should become exactly like him, but that we should become ourselves in the same way he became himself. Jesus was not the great exception but the great example.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. They then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a flame may dart out and set fire to his own house. Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious wants to flow into consciousness in order to reach the light, but at the same time it continually thwarts itself, because it would rather remain unconscious. That is to say, God wants to become man, but not quite.
Carl Jung
Image
Once upon a time men were possessed by devils. Now they are not less obsessed by ideas
Carl Jung
Image
Never diagnose a (client) until after their therapy is over.
Carl Jung
Image
Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?
Carl Jung
Image
A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots.
Carl Jung
Image
Healing proceeds from the depths to the heights.

When religion stops talking about animals it will be all downhill.
Carl Jung
