JUNG

 A

On the Self and Individuation

  1. "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."
    – Emphasizing the lifelong process of self-discovery and individuation.

  2. "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
    – Highlighting the power of the unconscious mind in shaping our experiences.

  3. "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."
    – The journey of self-awareness comes from introspection rather than external validation.

On Shadow and the Unconscious

  1. "Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."
    – Acknowledging the hidden, darker aspects of the psyche that need to be integrated.

  2. "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become."
    – Stressing personal responsibility and the ability to shape one’s future.

On Symbols and the Collective Unconscious

  1. "The psyche is not of today. Its ancestry goes back many millions of years."
    – Referring to the collective unconscious, a shared reservoir of archetypes across humanity.

  2. "Man cannot stand a meaningless life."
    – Expressing the deep human need to find purpose and meaning.

On Relationships and the Human Experience

  1. "The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."
    – Relationships have the power to change and shape us.

  2. "Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you."
    – True connection comes from meaningful communication, not just presence.

On Healing and Transformation

  1. "We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses."
    – Healing begins with acceptance rather than repression.
