More quotes by Carl Jung
Shadow work is the path of the heart warrior.
Carl Jung
The psychotherapist learns little or nothing from his successes. They mainly confirm him in his mistakes, while his failures, on the other hand, are priceless experiences in that they not only open up the way to a deeper truth, but force him to change his views and methods.
Carl Jung
We are a psychic process which we do not control, or only partly direct. Consequently, we cannot have any final judgment about ourselves or our lives.
Carl Jung
People learn from who we are, rather than what we say, and to believe otherwise is a disease of the mind.
Carl Jung
A dream that is not understood remains a mere occurrence understood it becomes a living experience.
Carl Jung
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
You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.
Carl Jung
Our intellect has achieved the most tremendous things, but in the meantime our spiritual dwelling has fallen into disrepair.
Carl Jung
Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself. It is an almost absurd prejudice to suppose that existence can only be physical...We might well say, on the contrary, that physical existence is a mere inference, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses.
Carl Jung
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
The sight of a child…will arouse certain longings in adult, civilized persons — longings which relate to the unfulfilled desires and needs of those parts of the personality which have been blotted out of the total picture in favor of the adapted persona.
Carl Jung
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
Carl Jung
To be normal is the ultimate aim of the unsuccessful.
Carl Jung
The unconscious is not a demoniacal monster, but a natural entity which, as far as moral sense, aesthetic taste, and intellectual judgment go, is completely neutral.It only becomes dangerous when our conscious attitude to it is hopelessly wrong. To the degree that we repress it, its danger increases.
Carl Jung
One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.
Carl Jung
Modern man is sick because he is not whole.
Carl Jung
Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them.
Carl Jung
The man who speaks with primordial images, speaks with a thousand tongues.
Carl Jung
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
Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
Carl Jung
