I am looking forward enormously to getting back to the sea again, where the overstimulated psyche can recover in the presence of that infinite peace and spaciousness.

The problem of synchronicity has puzzled me for a long time, ever since the middle twenties, when I was investigating the phenomena of the collective unconscious and kept on coming across connections which I simply could not explain as chance groupings or "runs." What I found were "coincidences" which were connected so meaningfully that their "chance" concurrence would represent a degree of improbability that would have to be expressed by an astronomical figure.

Complexes are psychic contents which are outside the control of the conscious mind. They have been split off from consciousness and lead a separate existence in the unconscious, being at all times ready to hinder or to reinforce the conscious intentions.

People learn from who we are, rather than what we say, and to believe otherwise is a disease of the mind.

A dream that is not understood remains a mere occurrence; understood it becomes a living experience.

Individualization does not shut one out from the world, but gathers the world to oneself.

Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries.
