Just imagine what would happen if practicing physicians, the ones who have come into contact directly with suffering humanity, had some acquaintance with Eastern systems of healing. The Spirit of the East surges through every pore as a balm for all afflictions.

Healing, Humanity, Suffering

I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man's. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself?.

Animal, Men, Tree

My mandalas were cryptograms concerning the state of the self which was presented to me anew each day...I guarded them like precious pearls....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.

Self, Each Day, Pearls

I think it is better for all people to live on, to look forward to the next stage (after death), as if he had to spend centuries, then he lives properly... looking forward to the great adventure ahead, then he lives!

All neurotics seek the religious

Religious, Religion, Psychiatry

There is, however, a strong empirical reason why we should cultivate thoughts that can never be proved. It is that they are known to be useful. Man positively needs general ideas & convictions that will give a meaning to his life & enable him to find a place for himself in the universe. He can stand the most incredible hardships when he is convinced that they make sense; he is crushed when on top of all his misfortunes, he has to admit that he is taking part in a ‘tale told by an idiot.’

Strong, Mean, Son

Colors express the main psychic functions of man.

Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world.

Farewell, Heart, Psychology

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.

Running, Fear, Adventure

All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.

Creativity, Men, Imagination

Carl Gustav Jung (2001). “Modern Man in Search of a Soul”, p.67, Psychology Press

The primary cause of unhappiness in the world today is... lack of faith.

World, Today, Causes

One might expect, perhaps, that a man full of genius could pasture in the greatness of his own thoughts, and renounce the cheap approbation of the crowd which he despises; yet he succumbs to the more powerful impulse of the herd instinct. His searching and his finding, his call, belong to the herd.

Powerful, Greatness, Men

Carl Gustav Jung, Beatrice M. Hinkle (2003). “Psychology of the Unconscious”, p.16, Courier Corporation

Meaninglessnes s inhibits fullness of life and is therefore the equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many things endurable--perh aps everything.

Fullness Of Life, Illness, Great Men

The only thing that really matters now is whether man can climb up to a higher moral level, to a higher plane of consciousness, in order to be equal to the superhuman powers which the fallen angels have played into his hands. But he can make no progress until he becomes very much better acquainted with his own nature.

Angel, Men, Hands

Carl Gustav Jung, Murray Stein (1999). “Jung on Christianity”, p.263, Princeton University Press

Imagination is a concentrated extract of all the forces of life.

Imagination, Force

Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.

Thinking, Consciousness, Influence

Carl Gustav Jung (1959). “pt. 1. The archetypes and the collective unconscious”

Eternal truth needs a human language that alters with the spirit of the times.

Needs, Spirit, Language

Carl Gustav Jung (1966). “The practice of psychotherapy”, Bollingen

To me dreams are part of nature, which harbors no intention to deceive but expresses something as best it can.

Dream, Nature, Deceiving

There are all too many who, on account of their notorious ineptitude, thrive better in a rationalist system than in freedom. Freedom is one of those difficult things.

Ineptitude, Notorious, Difficult

The serious problems in life...are never fully solved. If ever they should appear to be so it is a sure sign that something has been lost. The meaning and purpose of a problem seem to lie not in its solution but in our working at it incessantly.

Lying, Purpose, Serious

I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life - that is to say, over 35 - there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.

Religious, Finding The One, Outlook On Life
