Carl G. Jung
As you choose to embark on your spiritual journey to authentic self you will come across some writing that truly resonate. Some of these writings are that of Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist who founded analytical psychology.
From our perspective, understanding your psyche is an essential part of our spiritual journey. It is part of evolution, the evolution not only of humanity, but also our Soul.
We would like to share some of his most profound quotes. May some of them resonate with your heart.
“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside awakens”
“Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate”
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are”
“Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries”
“We are not what happen to us, we are what we choose to become”
“The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know the world will tell you”
“The highest most decisive experience is to be alone with one’s own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, where you find that you can not support yourself. Only this experience can give you an indestructible foundation.”
“We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life”
“If a man knows more them others, he becomes lonely”
“Everyone you meet knows something you don’t know, but need to know. Learn from them”
“You are what you do, not what you say you will do”
“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you”
“Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see”
“The greatest tragedy of the family is the unlived lives of the parents”
“The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it”
“Wisdom accepts that all things have two sides”
“We don’t get wounded alone and we don’t heal alone”
“The brighter the light the darker the shadow”
“The most important question anyone can ask is, what myth am I living”
…..and this quote truly helped me understand myself on a much deeper level.
“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, from holding views which others find inadmissible”
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious”
Carl Gustav Jung
