One is forced to speak not of what is held in common between the cultures, but what is held in common between the myths, and that in its simplest archetypal forms.
Carl Jung
Image
The growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement.
Carl Jung
Image
It is a bewildering thing in human life that the things that cause the greatest fear is the source of the greatest wisdom.
Carl Jung
Image
Paul hardly ever allows the real Jesus of Nazareth to get a word in.
Carl Jung
Image
Music is the application of sounds to the canvas of silence.
Carl Jung
Image
The darkness which clings to every personality is the door into the unconscious and the gateway of dreams, from which those two twilight figures, the shadow and the anima, step into our nightly visions or, remaining invisible, take possession of our ego-consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
What we do not make conscious emerges later as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
...it seemed to me I was living in an insane asylum of my own making. I wnt about with all these fantastic figures: centaurs, nymphs, satyrs, gods and goddesses, as though they were patients and I was analyzing them. I read a Greek or Negro myth as if a lunatic were telling me his anamnesis.
Carl Jung
Image
An old man who cannot bid farewell to life appears as feeble and sickly as the young man who is unable to embrace it.
Carl Jung
Image
Intuition (is) perception via the unconscious
Carl Jung
Image
Imagination is a concentrated extract of all the forces of life.
Carl Jung
Image
The most important question anyone can ask is: What myth am I living?
Carl Jung
Image
It is proverbial, of course, that man never learns from history, and, as a rule, in respect to a problem of the present, it can teach us simply nothing. The new must be made through untrodden regions, without suppositions, and often, unfortunately, without piety also.
Carl Jung
Image
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
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
Only a life lived in a certain spirit is worth living. It is a remarkable fact that a life lived entirely from the ego is dull not only for the person himself but for all concerned.
Carl Jung
Image
That which compels us to create a substitute for ourselves is not the external lack of objects, but our incapacity to lovingly include a thing outside of ourselves
Carl Jung
Image
Our western mind lacking all culture in this respect, has never yet devised a concept, not even a name for the union of opposites through the middle path, that most fundamental item of inward experience which could respectably be set against the Chinese concept of Tao.
Carl Jung
Image
I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it.
Carl Jung
Image
The symbol in the dream has more the value of a parable: it does not conceal, it teaches.
Carl Jung
