Quotes About Jung

In our normal, everyday forms of consciousness, we suffer form what [William] James calls a 'lifelong habit of inferiority to our full self.' Insofar as the self that encases the seed of a wider consciousness like a husk is seen as 'conventionally healthy,' cracking it open to uncover the higher part leaves the individual exposed to neurosis; but then, as James reminds us and as Jung himself knew, this may well be the chief condition for receptivity to these higher realms.

But one thing above all gave Bollingen its special quality: silence. Jung was a great one for silence, just as he could on occasion be a torrential talker. The two compensated each other.

Eu quisera concluir que as mais belas página de Jung, ou também as páginas mais belas de cada pessoa que consegue exprimir a própria criatividade, decorrem sempre de uma experiência de sedução, que coincida com a tomada de consciência do próprio mundo interior. Um doloroso caminho que nos impele à loucura, mas ninguém teria dúvida em escolher, entre a inocência e a possibilidade de ser encantado por outro.

Jung believed that humans produce in art the inner images the soul needs in order to see itself and to allow its own transformation.

Boomeritis, 297–298 This, then, is the message of Jung; the message of Maslow, Assagioli, and the whole Fourth Force; and more, of the saints, sages, and mystics, whether Amerindian, Taoist, Hindu, Buddhist, or Christian: at the bottom of your soul is the soul of humanity itself, but a divine, uncreate soul, leading from time to eternity, from death to immortality, from bondage to liberation, from enchantment to awakening.

Jung sentia que é preciso passar, confrontando-os, pela nossa Sombra e pelos demônios reprimidos (complexos) do nosso inconsciente pessoal, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, somos ajudados e curados pelos conteúdos arquetípicos do Inconsciente Coletivo.

Sua linguagem está presente nas mitologias e religiões do mundo e nos fala por meio de figuras e símbolos arquetípicos.

Carl Jung said that if you find the psychic wound in an individual or a people, there you also find their path to consciousness.

This archetypal circuit is replete with what Jung called synchronicities — meaningful coincidences — which he attributed to the circuit's roots in what he called the "psychoid" level, below the personal and collective unconscious, where "mind" and matter" are not yet differentiated — the royal highway of the DNA-RNA-CNS (central nervous system) telegraph, in Tim Leary's metaphor.

That's the kind of question that got Carl Jung thinking about synchronicity (universal resonance) which is a little bit like Sheldrake's morphogenetic field and also, coincidentally, a little bit like the non-local effect in quantum mechanics.
