For the alchemist the one primarily in need of redemption is not man, but the deity who is lost and sleeping in matter.
Carl Jung
Image
If we feel our way into the human secrets of the sick person, the madness also reveals its system, and we recognize in the mental illness merely an exceptional reaction to emotional problems which are not strange to us. --The Content of the Psychoses
Carl Jung
Image
The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years sometimes it grows turbid.
Carl Jung
Image
How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious?
Carl Jung
Image
Conflicts create the fire of affects and emotions and like every fire it has two aspects: that of burning and that of giving light.
Carl Jung
Image
We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. For us, this becomes a real art... Consciousness is forever interfering, helping, correcting, and negating, never leaving the single growth of the psychic processes in peace.
Carl Jung
Image
The man who speaks with primordial images, speaks with a thousand tongues.
Carl Jung
Image
Enchantment is the oldest form of medicine.
Carl Jung
Image
You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence.
Carl Jung
Image
The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.
Carl Jung
Image
We carry our past with us, to wit, the primitive and inferior man with his desires and emotions, and it is only with an enormous effort that we can detach ourselves from this burden. If it comes to a neurosis, we invariably have to deal with a considerably intensified shadow.
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
It is the function of the Church to oppose all original experience, because this can only be unorthodox.
Carl Jung
Image
The creative person is overpowered, captive of and driven by a demon... They become our legendary heroes.
Carl Jung
Image
Intuition is one of the four basic psychological functions along with thinking, feeling,and sensing.
Carl Jung
Image
The upheaval of our world and the upheaval in consciousness is one and the same. Everything becomes relative and therefore doubtful. And while man, hesitant and questioning, contemplates... his spirit yearns for an answer that will allay the turmoil of doubt and uncertainty.
Carl Jung
Image
Everyone is in love with his own ideas
Carl Jung
Image
Moreover, my ancestors' souls are sustained by the atmosphere of the house, since I answer for them the questions that their lives once left behind. I carve out rough answers as best I can. I have even drawn them on the walls. It is as if a silent, greater family, stretching down the centuries, were peopling the house.
Carl Jung
Image
The psyche is a natural phenomenon. All aspects of the psyche, even those which seem pathological or destructive, actually serve the function of furthering our psychological development.
Carl Jung
Image
The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
