Enchantment is the oldest form of medicine.
Carl Jung
Image
Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.
Carl Jung
Image
Personality is the supreme realization of the innate idiosyncracy of a living being. It is an act of high courage flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to the universal conditions of existence coupled with the greatest possible freedom for self-determination.
Carl Jung
Image
It was most essential for me to have a normal life in the real world as a counterpoise to that strange inner world. My family and my profession remained the base to which I could return.
Carl Jung
Image
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
The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced and contrasted and compared to sadness. In comparing how an experience could have been worse we develop gratitude and happiness, while if we compare it how it could have been better we develop bitterness and sadness.
Carl Jung
Image
Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience.
Carl Jung
Image
Nature is not matter only. She is also a spirit
Carl Jung
Image
My evenings are taken up very largely with astrology. I make horoscopic calculations in order to find a clue to the core of psychological truth.
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
People cannot stand too much Reality.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious psyche believes in life after death
Carl Jung
Image
The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
We discover ourselves through others.
Carl Jung
Image
Science has destroyed even the refuge of the inner life. What was once a sheltering haven has become a place of terror
Carl Jung
Image
The person who looks outward dreams, the person who looks inward awakens.
Carl Jung
Image
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
Meaninglessnes s inhibits fullness of life and is therefore the equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many things endurable--perh aps everything.
Carl Jung
Image
Our psyche is set up in accord with the structure of the universe, and what happens in the macrocosm likewise happens in the infinitesimal and most subjective reaches of the psyche
Carl Jung
Image
It is indeed time for the clergyman and the psychotherapist to join forces.
Carl Jung
