The seat of faith, however, is not consciousness but spontaneous religious experience, which brings the individual's faith into immediate relation with God.
Carl JungA man's hatred is always concentrated upon that which makes him conscious of his bad qualities.
Carl JungThe growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement.
Carl JungAn 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
