COLLECTED WORKS
Carl Jung
|
|
| 1 |
"Myths are original revelations of the preconscious psyche, involuntary statements about unconscious psychic happenings."
|
|
| 2 |
"The invisible centre is Adam Kadmon, the Original Man."
|
|
| 3 |
“The elements are conjoined in the circle of true friendship.” Petrus Bonus
|
|
| 4 |
"Spirit and matter may well be forms of one and the same transcendental being. For instance the Tantrists say that matter is nothing other than the concreteness of God's thoughts."
|
|
| 5 |
"Experience has amply confirmed that, in the psyche as in nature, a tension of opposites creates a potential which may express itself at any time in a manifestation of energy. Between above and below flows the waterfall, and between hot and cold there is a turbulent exchange of molecules. Similarly, between the psychic opposites there is generated a uniting symbol."
|
|
| 6 |
"Mandalas are birth-places, vessels of birth in the most literal sense, lotus-flowers in which a Buddha comes to life."
|
|
| 7 |
"Man has not served God rightly unless he has also served him in beauty."
|
|
| 8 |
"Christ is the inner man who is reached by the path of self-knowledge, 'the kingdom of heaven within you.'"
|
|
| 9 |
"My body is a shell in which a chick lies closed about; brooded by the spirit of eternity, it waits its hatching out." Angelus Silesius, 'The Cherubinic Wanderer'
|
|
| 10 |
"The tension of opposites that makes energy possible is a universal law, fittingly expressed in the yang and yin of Chinese philosophy."
|
|
| 11 |
"Certainly the difficulties and adversities of the struggle for existence may oppress us, yet even the worst conditions need not hinder love; on the contrary, they often spur us on to greater efforts."
|
|
| 12 |
"Each individual psychic fact is decisively influenced by its relation to the whole."
|
|
| 13 |
"In the history of the collective as in the history of the individual, everything depends on the development of consciousness. This gradually brings liberation from imprisonment in unconsciousness, and is therefore a bringer of light as well as of healing."
|
|
| 14 |
"In unconscious humanity there is a latent seed that corresponds to the prototype Jesus."
|
|
| 15 |
"The alchemist and mystic John Pordage (1607-81) called the inner eternal man an 'extract and summary concept of the Macrocosm'."
|
|
| 16 |
"No man lives within his own psychic sphere like a snail in its shell, separated from everybody else, but is connected with his fellow-men by his unconscious humanity."
|
|
| 17 |
"Archetypal ideas are part of the indestructible foundations of the human mind. However long they are forgotten and buried, always they return….continually reproducing themselves in new forms representing the timeless truths that are innate in man's nature."
|
|
| 18 |
"God has expressed himself in many languages and appeared in divers forms."
|
|
| 19 |
“Everything is connected with everything else and therefore, despite their multifarious modes of manifestation, they are at bottom a unity.”
|
|
| 20 |
"Everything that happens, happens in the same 'one world' and is a part of it. For this reason events must possess an a priori aspect of unity."
|
|
| 21 |
"The psyche is the greatest of all cosmic wonders." 'On The Nature of the Psyche'
|
|
| 22 |
"In the empirical self, light and shadow form a paradoxical unity."
|
|
| 23 |
“Pelagios asks: ‘Why speak ye of the manifold matter? The substance of natural things is one.’”
|
|
| 24 |
"Morality..is a function of the human soul, as old as humanity itself. Morality is not imposed from outside; we have it in ourselves from the start."
|
|
| 25 |
"The drama of the archetypal life of Christ describes in symbolic images the events in the conscious life - as well as in the life that transcends consciousness - of a man who has been transformed by his higher destiny." 'A Psychological Approach to the Trinity'
