Aloha Everyone,
Carl Gustav Jung (26
July 1875 – 6 June 1961), was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who
founded analytical psychology. His work has been influential in psychiatry and
in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and
related fields.
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
Great talents
are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of
humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
- Carl Jung
We cannot
change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it
oppresses.
- Carl Jung
Everything
that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of
ourselves.
- Carl Jung
We deem those
happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without
being overcome by them.
- Carl Jung
Understanding
does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a
comprehensible darkness.
- Carl Jung
An inflated
consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own
existence. It is incapable of learning from the past, incapable of
understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing right conclusions
about the future. It is hypnotized by itself and therefore cannot be argued
with. It inevitably dooms itself to calamities that must strike it dead.
- Carl Jung
Nothing has a
stronger influence psychologically on their environment, and especially on
their children, than the unlived lives of the parents.
- Carl Jung
One looks
back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those
who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw
material, but warmth is a vital element for the growing plant and for the soul
of the child.
- Carl Jung
We are born
at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have
the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology
does not lay claim to anything more.
- Carl Jung
The greatest
and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can
never be solved but only outgrown.
- Carl Jung
If one does
not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.
- Carl Jung
Caution has
its place, no doubt, but we cannot refuse our support to a serious venture
which challenges the whole of the personality. If we oppose it, we are trying
to suppress what is best in man --his daring and his aspirations. And should we
succeed, we should only have stood in the way of that invaluable experience
which might have given a meaning to life. What would have happened if Paul had
allowed himself to be talked out of his journey to Damascus
- Carl Jung
The creation
of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct
acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.
- Carl Jung
