...How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow ? ...

...I must have a dark side also... 

...If I am to be whole...

- Carl Jung -

 

...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...

...The darkness is your mother... 

...she behooves reverence... 

...since the mother is dangerous... 

...She has power over you... 

...since she gave birth to you... 

...Honor the darkness as the light... 

...and you will illumine your darkness...

- Carl Jung -

...The only real danger that exists...

...is man himself...

...he is the real danger...

...we are the orgin of all evil...

- Carl Gustav Jung -

...Man can not stand meaningless life...

...Don’t you know that if you choose one hundred of the most intelligent people in the world... 

...and get them all together , they are a stupid mob? ...

...Ten thousand of them together would have the collective intelligence of an alligator... 

...Haven’t you noticed that at a dinner party the more people you invite... 

...the more stupid the conversation? ...

...In a crowd , the qualities which everybody possesses multiply , pile up... 

...and become the dominant characteristics of the whole crowd... 

...Not everybody has virtues , but everybody has the low animal instincts... 

...the basic primitive caveman suggestibility , the suspicions and vicious traits of the savage... 

...The result is that when you get a nation of many millions of people, it is not even human... 

...It is a lizard or a crocodile or a wolf...

...Its statesmen cannot have a higher morality than the animal like mass morality of the nation , 

although individual statesmen of the democratic states may attempt to behave a little better...

- Carl Jung -

...Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves...
