The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic poison which alienates the possessor from the community.

Nothing is more repulsive than a furtively prurient spirituality; it is just as unsavoury as gross sensuality.

I have always tried to make room for anything that wanted to come to me from within.

My mandalas were cryptograms concerning the state of the self which was presented to me anew each day...I guarded them like precious pearls....It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation.

Instinct is like Nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.

The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm which is not easily disturbed, or else a brokenness that can hardly be healed. Conversely, it is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed in order to produce valuable and lasting results.

Psychological type is nothing static - it changes in the course of life.
