In my case Pilgrim's Progress consisted in my having to climb down a thousand ladders until I could reach out my hand to the little clod of earth that I am.
Carl JungThe God-image in man was not destroyed by the Fall but was only damaged and corrupted (โdeformedโ), and can be restored through God's grace. The scope of the integration is suggested by the descensus ad inferos, the descent of Christ's soul to hell, its work of redemption embracing even the dead. The psychological equivalent of this is the integration of the collective unconscious which forms an essential part of the individuation process.
Carl JungWe cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
