Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "A creative person has little power over his own life. He is..."
A creative person has little power over his own life. He is not free. He is captive and driven by his daimon. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on..."
We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "Nobody, as long as he moves among the chaotic currents of..."
Nobody, as long as he moves among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble. Carl Jung
It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going. Not consciously, of course—for consciously he is engaged in bewailing and cursing a faithless world that recedes further and further into the distance. Rather, it is an unconscious factor which spins the illusions that veil his world. And what is being spun is a... Carl Jung
The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown…. This ‘outgrowing’, as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person’s horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger... Carl Jung
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. It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age have given their followers, and none of them has really been healed who did not regain his religious outlook. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal..."
Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose. Carl Jung
It seems to be very hard for people to live with riddles or to let them live, although one would think that life is so full of riddles as it is that a few more things we cannot answer would make no difference. But perhaps it is just this that is so unendurable, that there are irrational things in our own psyche which upset the conscious mind in its illusory certainties by confronting it with the riddle of its existence. Carl Jung
Civilized life today demands concentrated, directed conscious functioning, and this entails the risk of a considerable dissociation from the unconscious. The further we are able to remove ourselves from the unconscious through directed functioning, the more readily a powerful counterposition can build up in the unconscious, and when this breaks out it may have disagreeable consequences. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego,..."
The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it. Carl Jung
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. Carl Jung
Our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the root of our being. Dealing with the unconscious has become a question of life for us. Carl Jung
Carl Jung quote: "Every human life contains a potential, if that potential is..."
Every human life contains a potential, if that potential is not fulfilled, then that life was wasted... Carl Jung
I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it. Carl Jung
