It will seem as if you were making the visions banal โ but then you need to do that โ then you are freed from the power of them Then when these things are in some precious book you can go to the book and turn over the pages and for you it will be your church โ your cathedral โ the silent places of your spirit where you will find renewal. If anyone tells you that it is morbid or neurotic and you listen to them โ then you will lose your soul โ for in that book is your soul.
Carl JungEvery man carries within himself the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that particular woman, but a definite feminine image. This image is fundamentally unconscious, a hereditary factor of primordial origin.
Carl JungThe starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
Carl JungIf people can be educated to see the lowly side of their own natures, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and to love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more tolerance towards oneself can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures.
Carl Jung
