Quote

And what shall we know of this life on earth after death? The dissolution of our timebound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning. Rather, does the little finger know itself a member of the hand.

From the viewpoint of analytic psychology, the theatre, aside from any aesthetic value, may be considered as an institution for the treatment of the mass complex.
Carl Jung
Image
Moreover, my ancestors' souls are sustained by the atmosphere of the house, since I answer for them the questions that their lives once left behind. I carve out rough answers as best I can. I have even drawn them on the walls. It is as if a silent, greater family, stretching down the centuries, were peopling the house.
Carl Jung
Image
Where love rules, there is no will to power and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
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
How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious?
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
Life is teleology par excellence it is the intrinsic striving towards a goal, and the living organism is a system of directed aims which seek to fulfill themselves.
Carl Jung
Image
Without consciousness there would, practically speaking, be no world, for the world exists as such only in so far as it is consciously reflected and considered by a psyche. Consciousness is a precondition of being.
Carl Jung
Image
The descent into the depths always seems to precede the ascent.
Carl Jung
Image
By a symbol I do not mean an allegory or a sign, but an image that describes in the best possible way the dimly discerned nature of the spirit. A symbol does not define or explain it points beyond itself to a meaning that is darkly divined yet still beyond our grasp, and cannot be adequately expressed in the familiar words of our language.
Carl Jung
Image
Modern man is sick because he is not whole.
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
If you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem.
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
The greatest tragedy of the family is the unlived lives of the parents.
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
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
Even a lie is a psychic fact.
Carl Jung
Image
Someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, [is] an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow.
Carl Jung

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
Carl Jung
