The unconscious mind of man sees correctly even when conscious reason is blind and impotent.
At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the plashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons.
There is no birth of consciousness without pain.
People learn from who we are, rather than what we say, and to believe otherwise is a disease of the mind.
The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
Synchronicity reveals the meaningful connections between the subjective and objective world.
Primitive superstition lies just below the surface of even the most tough-minded individuals, and it is precisely those who most fight against it who are the first to succumb to its suggestive effects.
Without freedom there can be no morality.
I feel very strongly that I am under the influence of things or questions which were left incomplete and unanswered by my parents and grandparents and more distant ancestors. It often seems as if there were an impersonal karma within a family which is passed on from parents to children. It has always seemed to me that I had to answer questions which fate had posed to my forefathers, and which had not yet been answered, or as if I had to complete, or perhaps continue, things which previous ages had left unfinished.

The mind has grown to its present state of consciousness as an acorn grows into an oak, or as saurians developed into mammals.
All art intuitively apprehends coming changes in the collective unconsciousness.
Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.
Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.
