Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it. It may help us to escape all criticism, we may even be able to deceive ourselves in the belief of our obvious righteousness. But deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, 'There is something not right,' no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or by the moral code.

The right way to wholeness is made up of fateful detours and wrong turnings.

Fate, Destiny, Detours

Carl Gustav Jung, Murray Stein (1999). “Jung on Christianity”, p.184, Princeton University Press

To confront a person with their own shadow is to show them their own light.

Light, Shadow, Shows

The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This 'outgrowing', as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person's horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency.

Intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but something outside of the province of reason.

Intuition, Doe, Reason

The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experience you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous character.

Real, Character, Neurosis

Carl Gustav Jung (1973). “Letters”

Warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

Education, Appreciation, Teacher

Carl Gustav Jung, Herbert Read, Michael Fordham, Gerhard Adler (1954). “The development of personality”

Identification with one's office or title is very attractive indeed, which is precisely why so many men are nothing more than the decorum accorded to them by society. In vain would one look for a personality behind the husk. Underneath one would find a very pitiable little creature. That is why the office is so attractive: it offers easy compensation for personal deficiencies.

Men, Office, Personality

The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution born anew in the brain structure of every individual.

Spiritual, Philosophy, Collective Unconscious

Carl Gustav Jung (1981). “The Collected Works of C. G. Jung: Structure and dynamics of the psyche”

However far-fetched it may sound, experience shows that many neuroses are caused by the fact that people blind themselves to their own religious promptings because of a childish passion for rational enlightenment.

Religious, Passion, People

Carl Gustav Jung (2001). “Modern Man in Search of a Soul”, p.68, Psychology Press

...The unconscious has no time. There is no trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all.

Space, Doe, Consciousness

Carl Gustav Jung (1976). “The Collected works”

Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power.

Beautiful, Christian, Responsibility

Carl Gustav Jung (1966). “The Collected Works of C. G. Jung: Two essays on analytical psychology”

Like the sea itself, the unconscious yields an endless and self-replenishing abundance of creatures, a wealth beyond our fathoming.

Yield, Self, Sea

Carl Gustav Jung (1977). “The Collected Works of C. G. Jung: The practice of psychotherapy”

There is rarely a creative man who does not have to pay a high price for the divine spark of his greatest gifts... the human element is frequently bled for the benefit of the creative element and to such an extent that it even brings out the bad qualities, as for instance, ruthless, naive egoism (so-called "auto-eroticism"), vanity, all kinds of vices-and all this in order to bring to the human I at least some life-strength, since otherwise it would perish of sheer inanition.

Creativity, Men, Creative

"Psychology and Poetry". Book by Carl Jung, June, 1930.

Thunder is no longer the voice of an angry god... No river contains a spirit... no snake the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave the home of a great demon. No voices now speak to man from stones, plants and animals, nor does he speak to them thinking they can hear. His contact with nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that this symbolic connection supplied.

Home, Animal, Men

An old man who cannot bid farewell to life appears as feeble and sickly as the young man who is unable to embrace it.

Life, Farewell, Men

Carl Gustav Jung (2001). “Modern Man in Search of a Soul”, p.114, Psychology Press

I do not believe...I know.

Believe, Knowledge, Knows

Carl Gustav Jung (2011). “Interpretação psicológica do dogma da Trindade”, p.8, Editora Vozes Limitada

Contemporary man is blind to the fact that, with all his rationality and efficiency, he is possessed by "powers" that are beyond his control. His gods and demons have not disappeared at all; they have merely got new names. They keep him on the run with restlessness, vague apprehensions, psychological complications, an insatiable need for pills, alcohol, tobacco, food - and, above all, a large array of neuroses

Running, Spiritual, Men

Every man carries within himself the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that particular woman, but a definite feminine image. This image is fundamentally unconscious, a hereditary factor of primordial origin.

Men, Feminine, Animus

I saw that everything, all paths I had been following, all steps I had taken, were leading back to a single point - namely, to the mid-point. 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. I knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self I had attained what was for me the ultimate.

Taken, Self, Expression

To the critical intelligence, nothing is left of absolute reality.

Reality, Critical, Left
