Life calls us forth to independence, and anyone who does not heed this call because of childish laziness or timidity is threatened with neurosis. And once this has broken out, it becomes an increasingly valid reason for running away from life.

Religious, Thinking, Psychology

Whatever is rejected from the self, appears in the world as an event.

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

The separation of psychology from the premises of biology is purely artificial, because the human psyche lives in indissoluble union with the body.

Factors Determining Human Behaviour

The psychopathology of the masses is rooted in the psychology of the individual

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

It is also possible for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail

Fate, Men, Psychology

Carl Gustav Jung (1968). “Answer to Job”

The term "self" seems a suitable one for the unconscious substrate whose actual exponent in consciousness is the ego. The ego stands to the self as the moved to the mover, or as object to subject, because the determining factors that radiate outward from the self surround the ego on all sides and are therefore supraordinate to it. The self, like the unconscious, as an a priori existent out of which the ego evolves. It is, so to speak, an unconscious prefiguration of the ego. It is not I who create myself; rather, I happen to myself.

Self, Psychology, Ego

Science has destroyed even the refuge of the inner life. What was once a sheltering haven has become a place of terror

Psychology, Terror, Refuge

Carl Gustav Jung (2001). “Modern Man in Search of a Soul”, p.209, Psychology Press

The self is not only the centre but also the whole circumference which embraces both conscious and unconscious; it is the centre of this totality, just as the ego is the centre of consciousness.

Self, Psychology, Ego

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

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order... we are caught and entangled in aimless experience... Only when all props and crutches are broken, and no cover from the rear offers even the slightest hope of security, does it become possible for us to experience an archetype that up till then had lain hidden behind the meaningful nonsense played out by the anima. This is the archetype of meaning, just as the anima is the archetype of life itself.

Order, Broken, Psychology

"The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious".

By a symbol I do not mean an allegory or a sign, but an image that describes in the best possible way the dimly discerned nature of the spirit. A symbol does not define or explain; it points beyond itself to a meaning that is darkly divined yet still beyond our grasp, and cannot be adequately expressed in the familiar words of our language.

Mean, Psychology, Doe

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

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

Astrology, Psychology, Recognition

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”

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

From the viewpoint of analytic psychology, the theatre, aside from any aesthetic value, may be considered as an institution for the treatment of the mass complex.

Psychology, Theatre, Viewpoints

Carl Gustav Jung, Beatrice M. Hinkle (2003). “Psychology of the Unconscious”, p.43, Courier Corporation

The symbols of the self arise in the depths of the body, and they express its materiality every bit as much as the perceiving consciousness. The symbol is thus a living body

Self, Psychology, Depth

Carl Gustav Jung, Karl Kerényi (2002). “Science of Mythology: Essays on the Myth of the Divine Child and the Mysteries of Eleusis”, p.109, Psychology Press

Life is teleology par excellence; it is the intrinsic striving towards a goal, and the living organism is a system of directed aims which seek to fulfill themselves.

Goal, Psychology, Excellence

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

It is in applied psychology, if anywhere, that today we should be modest and grant validity to a number of apparently contradictory opinions; for we are still far from having anything like a thorough knowledge of the human psyche, that most challenging field of scientific enquiry. For the present we have merely more or less plausible opinions that defy reconciliation.

Knowledge, Numbers, Psychology

"Modern Man in Search of a Soul". Book by Carl Jung, p. 57, 1933.

There are as many archetypes as there are typical situations in life. Endless repetition has engraved these experiences into our psychic constitution, not in the forms of images filled with content, but at first only as forms without content, representing merely the possibility of a certain type of perception and action.

There are cases where psychoanalysis works worse than anything else. But who said that psychoanalysis was to be applied always and everywhere.
