Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of nature.
If you do not find within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it outside.
If you ignore the wonders of your own house, how do you expect to find other wonders?
In you is hidden the treasures of treasures. Know thyself and you will know the universe and the gods.

There are multitudes in me. At the table of my soul, many people sit, and I am all of them. There is an old man, a child, a wise man, and a fool.
•
You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path.
If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path.
Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.
If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.
If you want to go your original way, it is the way you make for yourself
Which is never prescribed, which you do not know in advance, and which simply comes into being of itself when you put one foot in front of the other.
If you always do the next thing that needs to be done, you will go most safely and sure-footedly along the path prescribed by your unconscious.
•
There is only one way, and that is your way; there is only one salvation, and that is your salvation.
Why are you looking around for help? Do you believe that help will come from outside?
What is to come will be created in you and from you. Hence, look into yourself.
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.
•
My own understanding is the sole treasure I possess and the greatest. Though infinitely small and fragile in comparison with the powers of darkness, it is still a light, my only light.
Only one law exists, and that is your law. Only one truth exists, and that is your truth. The other is no stepping stone for our feet. It is far better we remain with ourselves.
Understand yourself, and you will be sufficiently understood. You will have quite enough work at hand with that. I laugh, I weep, I swear, but I do not look around me.
I am a forest and a night of dark trees, but he who is not afraid of my darkness will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.
He who does not comprehend the darkness fears the night.
•
I am weary, my soul, my wandering has lasted too long, my search for myself outside of myself.
Now I have gone through events and find you behind all of them. For I made discoveries in my erring through events, humanity, and the world. I found men.
And you, my soul, I found again, first in images within men, and then you yourself I found you where I least expected you. You climbed out of a dark shaft.
You announced yourself to me in advance in dreams. They burned in my heart and drove me to all the boldest acts of daring and forced me to rise above myself.
You let me see truths of which I had no previous inkling. You let me undertake journeys, whose endless length would have scared me if the knowledge of them had not been secure in you.
I wandered for many years, so long that I forgot that I possessed a soul. Where were you all this time? Which beyond sheltered you and gave you sanctuary?
Oh, that you must speak through me, that my speech and I are your symbol and expression! How should I decipher you?
Forgive me if I babble. No one else hears me. I speak to you quietly, and you know that I am neither a drunkard nor someone deranged.
•
My soul, where are you? Do you hear me? I speak. I call you- are you there? I have returned. I am here again.
I have shaken the dust of all the lands from my feet, and I have come to you. I am with you. After long years of long wandering, I have come to you again.
Should I tell you everything I have seen, experienced, and drunk in? Or do you not want to hear about all the noise of life and the world?
But one thing you must know: the one thing I have learned is that one must live this life. This life is the way, the long-sought-after way to the unfathomable.
Which we call divine. There is no other way. All other ways are false paths. I found the right way. It led me to you, to my soul. I return, tempered and purified.
Do you still know me? How long the separation lasted! Everything has become so different. And how did I find you? How strange my journey was!
What words should I use to tell you on what twisted paths a good star has guided me to you? Give me your hand, my almost forgotten soul.
How warm the joy at seeing you again, you long-disavowed soul. Life has led me back to you. Let us thank the life I have lived for all the happy
And all the sad hours, for every joy, for every sadness. My soul, my journey should continue with you. I will wander with you and ascend to my solitude.
•
I must learn the dregs of my thoughts, my dreams, are the speech of my soul. I must carry them in my heart.
And go back and forth over them in my mind, like the words of the person dearest to me. Dreams are the guiding words of the soul.
Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?
You think that the dream is foolish and ungainly. What is beautiful? What is ungainly? What is clever? What is foolish?
The spirit of the depths even taught me to consider my actions and my decisions as dependent on dreams.
Dreams pave the way for life, and they determine you without you understanding their language.
•
Some men are so accustomed to being alone with themselves that they do not compare themselves with others at all.
But spin out their life of monologue in a calm and cheerful mood, conversing and indeed laughing with themselves alone.
We must, therefore, allow certain men their solitude and not be so stupid, as we so often are, as to pity them for it.
Whoever has sat down, year in and year out, day and night, alone in an intimate dispute and conversation with his soul,
Whoever has become a cave bear or digger for treasure or guardian of treasure and dragon in his own cavern,
It can be a labyrinth but also a gold mine when such a man's very ideas finally take on a distinct twilight colouring.
We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering.
But then our solitude is overcome. We are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is god, the indivisible.
And suddenly, we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul, we know ourselves to be one with all being.
•
Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward. As Jung metaphorically expressed it, “A neurosis is an offended god.”
What he meant is that an energy in us has been repressed, oppressed, split off, projected onto others, and thereby has been wounded or “offended.”
The neglect of a deep instinctual energy ultimately revenges itself in our somatic discords, compulsions, addictions, or projections onto others.
My definition of a devil is a god who has not been recognized. That is to say, it is a power in you to which you have not given expression, and you push it back.
And then, like all repressed energy, it builds up and becomes completely dangerous to the position you’re trying to hold.
•
The modern world is desacralized, which is why it is in a crisis.
Modern man must rediscover a deeper source of his own spiritual life.
To do this, he is obliged to struggle with evil. To confront his shadow. To integrate the devil.
To honor and accept one’s own shadow is a profound spiritual discipline.
It is whole-making and thus, holy, and the most important experience of a lifetime.
What we need is the development of the inner spiritual man, the unique individual.
Whose treasure is hidden on the one hand in the symbols of our mythological tradition.
And on the other hand, in man's unconscious psyche.
•
We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god.
And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards, we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.
•
True it is, without falsehood, certain and most true. That which is below is like that which is above,
And that which is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracle of one only thing.
It ascends from the earth to the heaven, and descends again to the earth, and receives the power of the above and below.
Thus, you will have the glory of the whole world. Therefore, all darkness will flee from you.
Reincarnation & Rebirth Quotes:
"The gods look after good people still, and cherishers are cherished."
This corresponds to what has been discovered in depth psychology, that when one pays attention to the unconscious,
The unconscious is likely to show some kindness to the ego that does so.
What you encounter, recognize, or discover depends to a large degree on the quality of your approach.
Many of the ancient cultures practiced careful rituals of approach. An encounter of depth and spirit was preceded by careful preparation.
When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface, and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things.
When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.
•
Central to Jung’s understanding of himself is that his self is plural.
The more aware we are that we are composed of different selves, the less likely we are to suffer a full splitting of the personality.
He argued that the unconscious is intuitive and is more receptive than the conscious mind.
It carries memories lost to consciousness and contains knowledge of which we are not consciously aware.
Although we human beings have our own personal life, we are yet, in large measure, the representatives,
The victims and promoters of a collective spirit whose years are counted in centuries.
•
My life often seemed to me like a story that has no beginning and no end.
I had the feeling that I was a historical fragment, an excerpt for which the preceding and succeeding text was missing.
I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer.
That I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me.
•
Rebirth is an affirmation that must be counted among the primordial affirmations of Mankind.
The concept of rebirth necessarily implies the continuity of personality.
Here, the human personality is regarded as continuous and accessible to memory.
So that, when one is incarnated or born, one is able potentially to remember that one has lived through previous existences.
And that these existences were one's own, i.e., they had the same ego form as the present life. As a rule, reincarnation means rebirth in a human body.
Death is psychologically as important as birth and, like it, is an integral part of life. As a doctor, I make every effort to strengthen the belief in immortality.
Especially with older patients when such questions come threateningly close. There are also dreams which symbolically indicate the end of bodily life.
And the explicit continuation of psychic life after death. The unconscious "believes" quite obviously in a life after death.
•
If one believes in the possibility of reincarnation,
The idea logically follows that those people who are reincarnated did not complete something in their life that they were meant to do.
Perhaps there is, after all, something to the idea that one chooses one’s life before birth. In this case, there would be a connection between previous fantasies and a specific life.
You may harbour a yearning for something during your life and have fantasies about the unlived aspect right up until you die.
People often regret not having done something or other. If there were a continuation, according to the laws of the psyche, an impulse would arise to realise these compensatory fantasies.
I could imagine that I might compensate for my current life in the future by again being a pioneer, but in a different field, perhaps in the natural sciences.
•
An old alchemist gave the following consolation to one of his disciples:
"No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you."
As a child, I felt myself to be alone, and I am still because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of and, for the most part, do not want to know.
Loneliness does not come from having no people about one but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.
Like a young wine, sorrow can be bitter, but as one ages, the bitterness lessens; only then can one truly appreciate it. For most people, their spiritual teacher is their suffering. Because eventually, the suffering brings about awakening.
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
•
When a person who has had a highly evolved past life is going through a strong past-life transit, that person comes to know things about life, death, and other dimensions that most people in our world aren't aware of.
Our lives may be very hard, but sometimes a soul chooses a challenging lifetime to accelerate its spiritual progress or as an act of love to help others who are going through a difficult lifetime.
A hard life is not a punishment but rather an opportunity for growth and love. Humans create such misery in the world with cruelty and violence.
Spiritual beings, aware of higher dimensions and multiple lifetimes, repair the world by nurturing and protecting all life. As we evolve from human beings into spiritual beings, we’ll heal pain rather than cause it.
To remember that you have had multiple lifetimes, separated by spiritual interludes on the other side, dissolves the fear of death and brings peace and joy into the present moment.
Incredible insights and healing also occur. The promise of reunions with loved ones becomes clear. When we remember that we are spiritual beings, our values shift, and we can find understanding and joy.
Happiness has no roots in power, wealth, or fame, only in love. Love and be kind to others without concern for what comes back to you, and you will find balance and inner peace.
When your body dies, you awaken into immortality, becoming aware that you, a timeless soul, can never die. You exist before birth and after death. You’re a soul, not a body.
And so are our loved ones, with whom we are reunited, in spiritual form or back here, in the physical state.
•
Any soul that caught sight of even one true thing is granted another circuit where it can see more, but eventually, all souls fall back to earth.
Those that have been initiated are put into various human incarnations depending on how much they have seen; those made into philosophers have seen the most.
With kings, politicians, doctors, prophets, poets, manual laborers, and tyrants descending accordingly as to their relative ignorance.
If you don't break your ropes while you are alive--that is, if you don't break the identification with your body.
And your personality while you're alive--do you think that ghosts will do it after?
•
The radiant light of a beautiful, kind soul will always vanquish the darkness and provide warmth as it guides one upon their destined path.
The soul perseveres and shines brightly through even the most harrowing of times. It can never be extinguished by the likes of man.
•
The outsider lives up there in the mountains at the highest peak of human evolution. Their consciousness is one with the divine, and that’s just great.
It makes you feel a little better to have somebody like that around. That person is realized. They know what it’s all about. So we need those people.
Even if they aren’t playing our game because it reminds the government in no uncertain terms that there’s something more important going on.
Man is a Prometheus who steals lightning from heaven in order to bring light into the pervasive darkness of the great riddle.
He knows that there is a meaning in nature, that the world conceals a mystery which it is the purpose of his life to discover.
I feel it is the duty of one who goes his own way to inform society of what he finds on his voyage of discovery.
We, Jungian psychologists, are constantly venturing into scholarly realms of history,
Anthropology, mythology, and all the arts tracking our prey, the psyche.When one chapter ends, another begins.
Life is a never-ending story.

E Pluribus Unum
The psyche consists of various personalities that all come together to form an identity.
Past life personalities are similar to a black box that is located at the bottom of the ocean.
With the proper tools and techniques, it's possible to venture into the depths of the unconscious.
Thus, bringing these personalities back to the surface of consciousness for integration.
•
Information is provided via aspects and past selves within the depths of the unconscious.
I'm an amanuensis who listens to the unconscious and translates symbols into words.
The sacred function of the inner spiritual man is to act as the speaker of the dead.
Listening to those who go unheard and giving a voice to those who don't have one.

Today thou standest on a blackened grave, thy broken sword still lifted to the skies.
Thy pure and fearless eyes gaze into death's grim visage unappalled, and by the storm-swept nations, thou art called.

As we blossom or awaken, we begin to notice there is a force in the world that seems to be operating and leading us into a certain destiny.
And it's very much a kind of detective effort on our own part to figure out what these things mean.
The synchronicity is essentially a meaningful coincidence that brings us information at just the right time.
While leading us forward, it also feels very inspiring and destined in a way. It feels like we're on a path of unfolding in our own personal evolution.
•
Contemplate the coincidences, the synchronicities, the deja vu experiences in your life.
These are not random events. They are where our spiritual plan is arranged before we are born and the actual path we are traveling in this lifetime converge.
There is wisdom and guidance here. In every moment, the universe is whispering to you.
You're constantly surrounded by signs, coincidences, and synchronicities. All are aimed at propelling you in the direction of your destiny.
Numerology Quotes:
In Pythagorean belief, the universe consisted of four elements: fire, air, water, and earth.
The number 7 was thought to represent a perfect or divine balance between these four elements.
In addition, the number 7 was believed to be the number of days it took for the soul to be reborn after death.
As a result, Pythagoreans saw the number seven as a symbol of hope, spirituality, and resurrection.
The number seven symbolizes humanity’s deep inner need to find depth, meaning, and spiritual connection.
7 is the number of spiritual awakening, inner growth, introspection, wisdom, and intuitiveness.
•
Synchronicity is a facet of numerology in which different sequences of numbers have different meanings and are seen as messages from the metaphysical realm.
Number and synchronicity were always brought into connection with one another. Both possess numinosity and mystery as their common characteristics.
The very numbers you use in counting are more than you take them for. They are, at the same time, mythological entities; for the Pythagoreans, they were even divine.
But you are certainly unaware of this when you use numbers for a practical purpose.
Mythology Quotes:
The psychological answer to the question- why study mythology? Is that the psyche will otherwise be invisible.
Only through an acquaintance with the incredible diversity of mythological images is the psyche made manifest in its origins.
Psychology is ultimately mythology, the study of the stories of the psyche/soul.
•
Myth has been called an early form of psychology: the tales of heroes struggling through labyrinths
Or fighting with monsters brought to light impulses in obscure regions of the psyche that are not easily accessible to rational investigation.
Myth is an early form of psychology. There are all these stories about gods going down into the underworld to slaughter demons.
We all have to learn how to negotiate our unconscious worlds. We have to go into the labyrinth of our own selves and fight our own monsters.
Myths, therefore, express vital, instinctive knowledge, and when one trusts in this knowledge, then one is healthy.
This has nothing at all to do with wishful thinking or some kind of fantasy.
•
To be aware of living mythically is to understand your life as an unfolding drama whose meaning is larger than your day-to-day concerns.
It is to nurture a ripening appreciation of your cultural and ancestral roots.
To live mythically is to seek guidance from your dreams, imagination, and other reflections of your inner being.
As well as from the most inspiring people, practices, and institutions of your society.
•
To live mythically is also to cultivate an ever-deepening relationship with the universe and its great mysteries.
The quiet guidance of your personal mythology gives meaning to every situation you meet and determines what you will do in it.
Your personal mythology acts as a lens that colours your perceptions according to its own assumptions and values.
It highlights certain possibilities and shadows others. Through it, you view the ever-changing panorama of your experiences in the world.
•
Powerful things happen when we touch the thinking which myths, fairy tales, and our own dreams bring to us.
The terms and settings of the old myths are strange; they seem archaic and distant, but if we listen to them carefully and take them seriously, we begin to understand.
Stories, old myths, do a kind of open-heart surgery on you. And at the time, usually when I'm hearing a story of tremendous power,
I know something is happening, but I don't quite know what it is. It's as if some vast presence is just passing me in the dark.
•
In spite of exceedingly complex technology, we miss the obvious signs of soul: a physical complaint, an animal in a dream.
A witch in a fairy tale, a god in mythology, a tear in laughter and sadness, the lead weight of a depression.
A myth is not only a story; it is a statement made in symbols. The language of the unconscious is symbolic.
A symbol speaks directly and immediately to the soul, and it is understood by the soul even when consciousness does not understand.
Myths are the language of the unconscious in a collective form. And dreams are the language of the unconscious in a personal form.
It is how the unconscious communicates with us, and it uses symbolic language, not literal language.
•
Both myth and dream are symbolic of the dynamics of the psyche. But in the dream, the forms are quirked
By the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth, the problem and solutions shown are directly valid for all Mankind.
Heaven and hell are within us, and all the gods are within us. This is the great realization of the Upanishads of India in the ninth century B.C.
All the gods, all the heavens, and all the world are within us. They are magnified dreams, and dreams are manifestations in image form of the energies
Of the body in conflict with each other. That is what myth is. Myth is a manifestation in symbolic images.
Mythology, in other words, is psychology misread as biography, history, and cosmology.
Individuation Quotes:
The experience of depth psychology, the process of individuation that must be undergone.
Is itself an esoteric event which changes people to the depth of their being, extends their consciousness, and brings their personality to the maturity of the whole person.
Individuation is a means of orienting oneself to the plurality of the psyche, of coming into a dynamic living relationship with the "gods" within.
It is a process that leads one towards a state of being far beyond a mere adaptation to the demands of the social world.
We like to think of ourselves as individuals. But it is important to remember that, on a deep level, we are really plural beings.
That is, we are one being, made up of quite a number of distinct personalities, behaviors, and archetypes that are all looking for expression.
Jung's concept of the Self is "that which lies at the center of the psyche and is beyond ego consciousness."
Its mystery gives it a transcendent quality, and he compared it to the Hindu atman, an aspect of the divine that dwells within us.
The psychic totality, the Self, is a combination of opposites. Without a shadow, even the Self is not real. It always has two aspects, a bright and a dark.
Individuation has come to mean the will of the psychological individual to become conscious and, though assuredly not perfect, psychologically whole.
That is, with no part of the Self split off in the unconscious, inaccessible even to dialogue with the ego.
•
A man likes to believe that he is the master of his soul.
But as long as he is unable to control his moods and emotions,
Or to be conscious of the myriad secret ways in which unconscious factors
insinuate themselves into his arrangements and decisions.
He is certainly not his own master.
•
People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people.
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.
Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakens.
•
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
If it has an impact, it means there is a war inside me. You set it off, but what you set off is my business.
Anything that can burn in a person should burn. Only the things that are fireproof are worth keeping.
If you can hurt my feelings, they are better off hurt because it's an error in me.
Active-imagination Quotes:
Active Imagination is an even more effective path to the unconscious than dreams.
The difference is that when you dream, you receive signals from the unconscious.
But the conscious mind does not participate. In active imagination, the conscious mind is awake.
The imagination is neither the conscious nor the unconscious, but rather what lies between the two.
Here, on the meeting ground of imagination, the ego and the archetypes can speak as equals, each learning from the other.
In active imagination, the ego’s vigilance level is deliberately lowered in order to enter into dialogue with images rising from the unconscious.
Once the voice of the unconscious has been given form, the ego can confront it. It is only from this moment that we can legitimately speak of the process as active imagination.
And it is only now that the personality can be deeply changed by it. The challenge to any of us regarding this internal dialogue is whether we can learn to trust, over time, what comes from within.
Mobilize the courage to act on it and stick it out until we come into some clearing in the woods and know, intuitively, this is where we belong.
•
I indignantly answered: "Do you call light what we men call the worst darkness? Do you call day night?"
To this, my soul spoke a word that roused my anger: "My light is not of this world."
I cried: "I know of no other world!"
My soul answered: "Should it not exist because you know nothing of it?"
My soul: "Who gives you thoughts and words? Do you make them?"
"Are you not my serf, a recipient who lies at my door and picks up my alms?"
"And you dare think that what you devise and speak could be nonsense?"
"Don't you know yet that it comes from me and belongs to me?"
•
I know that everything you say, oh my soul, is also my thoughts. But I hardly live according to it.
"How; tell me, do you then believe that your thoughts should help you?"
I would always like to refer to the fact that I am a human being, just a human being who is weak and sometimes does not do his best.
"Is this what you think it means to be human?"
You are hard, my soul, but you are right. How little we commit ourselves to living. We should grow like a tree that likewise does not know its law.
We tie ourselves up with intentions not mindful of the fact that intention is the limitation, yes, the exclusion of life.
We believe that we can illuminate the darkness with an intention and in that way, aim past the light. How can we presume to want to know in advance from where the light will come to us?

Philemon and other figures of my fantasies brought home to me the crucial insight that there are things in the psyche which I do not produce, but which produce themselves and have their own life.
Philemon represented a force which was not myself. In my fantasies, I held conversations with him, and he said things which I had not consciously thought.
For I observed clearly that it was he who spoke, not I. He said I treated thoughts as if I generated them myself, but in his view, thoughts were like animals in the forest or people in a room, or birds in the air, and added.
“If you should see people in a room, you would not think that you had made those people or that you were responsible for them.”
It was he who taught me psychic objectivity, the reality of the psyche. Through him, the distinction was clarified between myself and the object of my thought.
He confronted me in an objective manner, and I understood that there is something in me which can say things that I do not know and do not intend, things which may even be directed against me.
There is no sense talking about "being true to yourself" until you are sure what voice you are being true to. It takes hard work to differentiate the voices of the unconscious.
•
I find myself as the ruler of a country which has unknown borders and unknown inhabitants, possessing qualities of which I am not entirely aware.
The world of the inner is as infinite as the world of the outer. Just as you become a part of the manifold essence of the world through your bodies,
So you become a part of the manifold essence of the inner world through your soul. This inner world is truly infinite, in no way poorer than the outer one. Man lives in two worlds.

The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the whole moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook on life.
That I feed the hungry, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy. All these are undoubtedly great virtues.
But what if I should discover that the least among them all, the poorest of all the beggars, the most impudent of all the offenders, the very enemy himself?
That these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness. That I myself am the enemy who must be loved, what then?
If we do not have the depths, how do we have the heights? Yet you fear the depths and do not want to confess that you are afraid of them.
It is good, though, that you fear yourselves; say it out loud that you are afraid of yourselves. It is wisdom to fear oneself.
No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.In psychology, one has not really understood something until one has lived it. Just having a term for something means nothing.
It needs to touch the heart or affect one’s life. A word has to get under our skin. Sink in deep so that it becomes part of us, that we live in it.
Only when this is the case. When it is about more than words, does one know what the heart says and what the spirit thinks.
When the word enters deeply into one’s psyche rather than remaining at the intellectual level,
Only then is one faced with the problem of a conscious individuation process.
•
Everyone who experiences psychology in this way is isolated from others to a certain extent.
Not just from the hardheaded fools but also from intelligent people who have a different attitude and usually also have prejudices.
All those who consciously undergo and want to pursue the process of individuation should be aware that this path can be isolating
And that there is a certain danger when coming into contact with the huge inner world. But it is only when you allow yourself to be touched directly
That deep life-changing consequences arise, and only then can one’s totality unfold. This is the true effect of psychology. Until then, it is mainly limiting.
•
The years when I pursued the inner images were the most important time of my life.
Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore.
My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me.
That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification.
The scientific elaboration and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.
•
Therefore, my life has been singularly poor in outward happenings. I cannot tell much about them, for it would strike me as hollow and insubstantial.
I can understand myself only in the light of inner happenings. It is these that make up the singularity of my life.The unconscious sends all sorts of vapors, odd beings, terrors, and deluding images up into the mind, whether in dreams, broad daylight, or insanity.
For the human kingdom, beneath the floor of the comparatively neat little dwelling that we call our consciousness, goes down into unsuspected Aladdin caves.
There are not only jewels but also dangerous jinn abide: the inconvenient or resisted psychological powers that we have not thought or dared to integrate into our lives.
And they may remain unsuspected, or, on the other hand, some chance word, the smell of a landscape, the taste of a cup of tea, or the glance of an eye may touch a magic spring.
And then dangerous messengers begin to appear in the brain. These are dangerous because they threaten the fabric of the security into which we have built ourselves and our families.
But they are fiendishly fascinating too, for they carry keys that open the whole realm of the desired and feared adventure of the discovery of The Self.
Destruction of the world that we built and in which we live, and of ourselves within it, but then a wonderful reconstruction of the bolder, cleaner, more spacious, and fully human life
That is the lure, the promise, and terror of these disturbing night visitants from the mythological realm that we carry within.
