Many who know something but not enough about dreams and their meaning...are liable to succumb to the prejudice that the dream actually has a moral purpose, that it warns, rebukes, comforts, foretells the future, etc. If one believes that the unconscious always knows best, one can easily be betrayed into leaving the dreams to take the necessary decisions, and is then disappointed when the dreams become more and more trivial and meaningless...The unconscious functions satisfactorily only when the conscious mind fufills its task to the very limit.

It is proverbial, of course, that man never learns from history, and, as a rule, in respect to a problem of the present, it can teach us simply nothing. The new must be made through untrodden regions, without suppositions, and often, unfortunately, without piety also.

Men, History, Problem

Fortunately, in her kindness and patience, Nature has never put the fatal question as to the meaning of their lives into the mouths of most people. And where no one asks, no one needs to answer.

Astrology is assured of recognition from psychology, without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.

Enlightenment consists not merely in the seeing of luminous shapes and visions, but in making the darkness visible. The latter procedure is more difficult and therefore, unpopular.

Darkness, Vision, Enlightenment

Man and woman become a devil to each other when they do not separate their spiritual paths, for the nature of created beings is always the nature of differentiation.

Spiritual, Men, Devil

I want to be freed neither from human beings, nor from myself, nor from nature; for all these appear to me the greatest of miracles.

Nature, Miracle, Want

Carl Gustav Jung (1973). “Memories, dreams, reflections”, Random House Inc

Self-reflection, or - what comes to the same thing - the urge to individuation, gathers together what is scattered and multifarious and exalts it to the original of the One, the Primordial Man. In this way our existence as separate beings, our former ego nature, is abolished, the circle of consciousness is widened, and because the paradoxes have been made conscious, the sources of conflict are dried up.

Men, Reflection, Circles

Carl Gustav Jung (1968). “The Collected Works”

Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it

The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.

Carl Gustav Jung, Murray Stein (1999). “Jung on Christianity”, p.189, Princeton University Press

As any change must begin somewhere, it is the single individual who will experience it and carry it through. The change must indeed begin with an individual; it might be any one of us. Nobody can afford to look round and to wait for somebody else to do what he is loath to do himself.

Life, Change, Waiting

From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.

Time, Age, Alive

Carl Gustav Jung (1960). “The structure and dynamics of the psyche”

Astrology is knocking at the gates of our universities: A Tübingen professor has switched over to astrology and a course on astrology was given at Cardiff University last year. Astrology is not mere superstition but contains some psychological facts (like theosophy) which are of considerable importance. Astrology has actually nothing to do with the stars but is the 5000-year-old psychology of antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.

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?

Summer, Dark, Winter

Carl Gustav Jung (1981). “The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious”, p.101, Princeton University Press

Somewhere there was once a Flower, a Stone, a Crystal, a Queen, a King, a Palace, a Lover and his Beloved, and this was long ago, on an Island somewhere in the ocean 5,000 years ago. . . . Such is Love, the Mystic Flower of the Soul. This is the Center, the Self.

Love, Queens, Kings

Those who look outside, dream. Those who look inside, awaken.

The upheaval of our world and the upheaval of our consciousness are one and the same.

Our World, Upheaval, World

Carl Gustav Jung (1964). “Civilization in transition”

The woman who fights against her father still has the possibility of leading an instinctive, feminine existence, because she rejects only what is alien to her. But when she fights against the mother she may, at the risk of injury to her instincts, attain to greater consciousness, because in repudiating the mother she repudiates all that is obscure, instinctive, ambiguous, and unconscious in her own nature.

Mother, Father, Fighting

Liverpool is the pool of life, it makes to live.

Envy does not allow humanity to sleep.

Carl Gustav Jung, Beatrice M. Hinkle (2003). “Psychology of the Unconscious”, p.38, Courier Corporation

So far as the personality is still potential, it can be called transcendent, and so far as it is unconscious, it is indistinguishable from all those things that carry its projections...that is, symbols of the outside world and the cosmic symbols. These form the psychological basis for the conception of man as a macrocosm through the astrological components of his character.

Character, Men, Astrology

In knowing ourselves to be unique, we possess the capacity for becoming conscious of the infinite. But only then!

Unique, Knowing, Becoming

The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.

Life, Acceptance, Important

Psychological type is nothing static - it changes in the course of life.
