A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
Carl Jung

Individualization does not shut one out from the world, but gathers the world to oneself.
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.
Carl Jung
Image
In the second half of life the necessity is imposed of recognizing no longer the validity of our former ideals but of their contraries. Of perceiving the error in what was previously our conviction, of sensing the untruth in what was our truth, and of weighing the degree of opposition, and even of hostility, in what we took to be love.
Carl Jung
Image
My mandalas were cryptograms concerning the state of the self which was presented to me anew each day...I guarded them like precious pearls....It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation.

Just as we tend to assume that the world is as we see it, we naively suppose that people are as we imagine them to be.
Carl Jung
Image
Securities, certitudes and peace do not lead to discoveries.
Carl Jung
Image
In sleep, fantasy takes the form of dreams. But in waking life, too, we continue to dream beneath the threshold of consciousness, especially when under the influence of repressed or other unconscious complexes.
Carl Jung
Image
I cannot prove to you that God exists, but my work has proved empirically that the pattern of God exists in every man and that this pattern in the individual has at its disposal the greatest transforming energies of which life is capable. Find this pattern in your own individual self and life is transformed.
Carl Jung

You always become the thing you fight the most.
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
Image
Knowledge does not enrich us it removes us more and more from the mythic world in which we were once at home by right of birth.
Carl Jung
Image
Somewhere, right at the bottom of one’s own being, one generally does know where one should go and what one should do. But there are times when the clown we call “I” behaves in such a distracting fashion that the inner voice cannot make its presence felt.
Carl Jung
Image
Just imagine what would happen if practicing physicians, the ones who have come into contact directly with suffering humanity, had some acquaintance with Eastern systems of healing. The Spirit of the East surges through every pore as a balm for all afflictions.
