Since psyche and matter are contained in one and the same world, and moreover are in continuous contact with one another and ultimately rest on irrepresentable, transcendental factors, it is not only possible but fairly probable, even, that psyche and matter are two different aspects of the same thing.

Two, Psychology, Different

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

The person who looks outward dreams, the person who looks inward awakens.

Not nature, but the "genius of mankind," has knotted the hangman's noose with which it can execute itself at any moment.

Genius, Moments, Mankind

Carl Gustav Jung, Murray Stein (1999). “Jung on Christianity”, p.255, Princeton University Press

Whoever is afraid must needs be dependent; a weak thing needs support. That is why the primitive mind, from deep psychological necessity, begot religious instruction and embodied it in a magician or a priest.

Religious, Support, Mind

The self as the essence of individuality is unitemporal and unique; as an archetypal symbol it is a God-image and therefore universal and eternal.

Unique, Self, Essence

Carl Gustav Jung, Murray Stein (1999). “Jung on Christianity”, p.99, Princeton University Press

Astrology is of particular interest to the psychologist, since it contains a sort of psychological experience which we call projected - this means that we find the psychological facts as it were in the constellations. This originally gave rise to the idea that these factors derive from the stars, whereas they are merely in a relation of synchronicity with them. I admit that this is a very curious fact which throws a peculiar light on the structure of the human mind.

Stars, Mean, Light

Carl Gustav Jung, Roderick Main (1997). “Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal”, Psychology Press

The whole nature of man presupposes woman, both physically and spiritually. His system is tuned into woman from the start, just as it is prepared for a quite definite world where there is water, light, air, salt, carbohydrates etc.

Men, Light, Air

Carl Gustav Jung, Richard Francis Carrington Hull (1992). “Two Essays on Analytical Psychology”, p.190, Psychology Press

It was most essential for me to have a normal life in the real world as a counterpoise to that strange inner world. My family and my profession remained the base to which I could return.

Real, Essentials, World

Instinct is like Nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.

Historical, Conservative, Creation

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

When facts are few, speculations are most likely to represent individual psychology.

Psychology, Facts, Individual

The Self then functions as a union of opposites and thus constitutes the most immediate experience of the Divine which it is psychologically possible to imagine

Self, Opposites, Psychology

Carl Gustav Jung (1969). “Psychology and religion: west and east”

The self is defined psychologically as the psychic totality of the individual. Anything that a [person] postulates as being a greater totality than [oneself] can become a symbol of the self. For this reason the symbol of the self is not always as total as the definition would require.

Self, Psychics, Psychology

In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.

Inspirational, Feelings, Risk

Carl Gustav Jung (1960). “The psychogenesis of mental disease”

In all earnestness I asked myself what kind of world I had stumbled into.

World, Kind, Earnestness

At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the plashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons.

Animal, Clouds, Tree

Once upon a time men were possessed by devils. Now they are not less obsessed by ideas

Spiritual, Men, Ideas

Carl Gustav Jung (1958). “Psychology and religion: West and East”

The dream is a series of images, which are apparently contradictory and nonsensical, but arise in reality from psychologic material which yields a clear meaning.

Dream, Reality, Yield

Carl Gustav Jung, Beatrice M. Hinkle (2003). “Psychology of the Unconscious”, p.9, Courier Corporation

So often among so-called "primitives" one comes across spiritual personalities who immediately inspire respect, as though they were the fully matured products of an undisturbed fate.

Spiritual, Fate, Personality

Carl Gustav Jung, Herbert Read, Michael Scott Montague Fordham, Gerhard Adler (1954). “The Collected Works of C.G. Jung: The development of personality”

Obviously astrology has much to offer psychology, but what the latter can offer its elder sister is less evident. So far as I judge, it would seem to me advantageous for astrology to take the existence of psychology into account, above all the psychology of the personality and of the unconscious.

Astrology, Judging, Personality

Man positively needs general ideas and convictions that will give a meaning to his life and enable him to find a place for himself in the universe.

Men, Ideas, Giving

Carl Gustav Jung (2012). “Man and His Symbols”, p.112, Dell

One is forced to speak not of what is held in common between the cultures, but what is held in common between the myths, and that in its simplest archetypal forms.

Culture, Common, Speak
