The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl JungThe first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.
Carl JungThunder is no longer the voice of an angry god... No river contains a spirit... no snake the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave the home of a great demon. No voices now speak to man from stones, plants and animals, nor does he speak to them thinking they can hear. His contact with nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that this symbolic connection supplied.
Carl Jung
