It is the function of the Church to oppose all original experience, because this can only be unorthodox.
Carl JungA true symbol appears only when there is a need to express what thought cannot think or what is only divined or felt.
Carl JungSelf-reflection, or - what comes to the same thing - the urge to individuation, gathers together what is scattered and multifarious and exalts it to the original of the One, the Primordial Man. In this way our existence as separate beings, our former ego nature, is abolished, the circle of consciousness is widened, and because the paradoxes have been made conscious, the sources of conflict are dried up.
Carl Jung
