Our western mind lacking all culture in this respect, has never yet devised a concept, not even a name for "the union of opposites through the middle path", that most fundamental item of inward experience which could respectably be set against the Chinese concept of Tao.

In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious

There is no birth of consciousness without pain.

Healing proceeds from the depths to the heights.

We don't so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.

That which we do not bring to consciousness appears in our lives as fate.

Projection [of our own shadow] makes the whole world a replica of our own unknown face.
