Quotes

But what will he do when he sees only too clearly why his patient is ill; when he sees that it arises from his having no love, but only sexuality; no faith, because he is afraid to grope in the dark; no hope, because he is disillusioned by the world and by life; and no understanding, because he has failed to read the meaning of his own existence? Carl Jung
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with..."
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. Carl Jung
For the alchemist the one primarily in need of redemption is not man, but the deity who is lost and sleeping in matter. Only as a secondary consideration does he hope that some benefit may accrue to himself from the transformed substance as the panacea, the medicina catholica, just as it may to the imperfect bodies, the base or "sick" metals, etc. His attention is not directed to his own salvation through God's grace, but to the liberation of God from the darkness of matter. Carl Jung
Our mania for rational explanations obviously has its roots in our fear of metaphysics, for the two were always hostile brothers. Hence, anything unexpected that approaches us from the dark realm is regarded either as coming from outside and, therefore, as real, or else as a hallucination and, therefore, not true. The idea that anything could be real or true which does not come from outside has hardly begun to dawn on contemporary man. Carl Jung
There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. Carl Jung
My own understanding is the sole treasure I possess, and the greatest. Though infinitely small and fragile in comparison with the powers of darkness, it is still a light, my only light. Carl Jung
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: ""...the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light..."
"...the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light,..."
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help,..."
Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must..."
How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "I must also have a dark side if I am to be whole."
I must also have a dark side if I am to be whole. Carl Jung
