Image
Conflict exists strictly as an opportunity to raise our consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
Whenever there is a reaching down into innermost experience, into the nucleus of personality, most people are overcome by fear and many run away. . . The risk of inner experience, the adventure of the spirit, is in any case alien to most human beings. The possibility that such experience might have psychic reality is anathema to them.
Carl Jung
Image
The self is defined psychologically as the psychic totality of the individual. Anything that a [person] postulates as being a greater totality than [oneself] can become a symbol of the self. For this reason the symbol of the self is not always as total as the definition would require.
Carl Jung
Image
It is on the whole probably that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it.
Carl Jung
Image
The underlying, primary psychic reality is so inconceivably complex that it can be grasped only at the farthest reach of intuition, and then but very dimly. That is why it needs symbols.
Carl Jung
Image
I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.
Carl Jung
Image
Only a few individuals succeed in throwing off mythology in a time of a certain intellectual supremacy--the mass never frees itself.
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
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
Carl Jung
Image
The gods have become our diseases.
Carl Jung
Image
We don't so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.
Carl Jung
Image
It is astounding that man, the instigator, inventor and vehicle of all these developments, the originator of all judgements and decisions and the planner of the future, must make himself such a quantité negligeable.
Carl Jung
Image
Life calls not for perfection, but for completeness.
Carl Jung
Image
In the products of the unconscious we discover mandala symbols, that is, circular and quaternity figures which express wholeness, and whenever we wish to express wholeness, we employ just such figures.
Carl Jung
Image
You must go in quest of yourself, and you will find yourself again only in the simple and forgotten things.
Carl Jung
Image
We don't get wounded alone and we don't heal alone.
Carl Jung
Image
If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.
Carl Jung
Image
A book of mine is always a matter of fate. There is something unpredictable about the process of writing, and I cannot prescribe for myself any predetermined course.
Carl Jung
Image
There is no light without shadow, and no psychic wholeness without imperfection.
Carl Jung
Image
Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.
Carl Jung
