Space flights are merely an escape, a fleeing away from oneself, because it is easier to go to Mars or to the moon than it is to penetrate one's own being.
Carl JungSensation tell us a thing is. Thinking tell us what it is this thing is. Feeling tells us what this thing is to us.
Carl JungIt is a bewildering thing in human life that the things that cause the greatest fear is the source of the greatest wisdom.
Carl JungWhenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force
Carl JungOur mind has its history, just as our body has its history. You might be just as astonished that man has an appendix, for instance. Does he know he ought to have an appendix? He is just born with it....Our unconscious mind, like our body, is a storehouse of relics and memories of the past. A study of the structure of the unconscious collective mind would reveal the same discoveries as you make in comparative anatomy. We do not need to think that there is anything mystical about it.
Carl Jung
