One of the main functions of formalized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God.
Carl Jung
Image
Every man carries within himself the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that particular woman, but a definite feminine image. This image is fundamentally unconscious, a hereditary factor of primordial origin.
Carl Jung
Image
The teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn't even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any questions.

Medicines cure diseases, but only doctors can cure patients.
Carl Jung
Image
Criticism can be effective when there is something that must be destroyed or dissolved, but it is capable only of harm when there is something to be built.

The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man.
Carl Jung
Image
Just as man as a social being, cannot in the long run exist without a tie to the community, so the individual will never find the real justification for his existence, and his own spiritual and moral autonomy, anywhere except in an extramundane principle capable of relativizing the overpowering influence of external factors.
Carl Jung
Image
If you should see people in a room, you would not think that you had made those people, or that you were responsible for them.
Carl Jung

Yoga in Mayfair or Fifth Avenue, or in any other place which is on the telephone, is a spiritual fake.
Carl Jung
Image
Not nature, but the genius of mankind, has knotted the hangman's noose with which it can execute itself at any moment.
Carl Jung
Image
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Carl Jung
Image
My work as a psychoanalyst is to help patients recover their lost wholeness and to strengthen the psyche so it can resist future dismemberment.
Carl Jung
Image
What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and our feelings do not suffice to form even an approximate conception of it. The dissolution of our time-bound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning.
Carl Jung
Image
The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others.
Carl Jung
Image
Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
Carl Jung
Image
In each of us is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves.
Carl Jung
Image
I don't aspire to be a good man. I aspire to be a whole man.
Carl Jung
Image
We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. He is already on the way he is like Muhammad.
Carl Jung
Image
Only a fool is interested in other people's guilt, since he cannot alter it. The wise man learns only from his own guilt. He will ask himself: Who am I that all this should happen to me? To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart.
Carl Jung
