The wise man who is not heeded is counted a fool, and the fool who proclaims the general folly first and loudest passes for a prophet and Fรผhrer, and sometimes it is luckily the other way round as well, or else mankind would long since have perished of stupidity.
Carl JungWhen you come to think about it, nothing has any meaning, for when there was nobody to think, there was nobody to interpret what happened.
Carl JungThe God-image in man was not destroyed by the Fall but was only damaged and corrupted (โdeformedโ), and can be restored through God's grace. The scope of the integration is suggested by the descensus ad inferos, the descent of Christ's soul to hell, its work of redemption embracing even the dead. The psychological equivalent of this is the integration of the collective unconscious which forms an essential part of the individuation process.
