“How hard is fate! If you take a step toward your soul, you will at first miss the meaning. You will believe that you have sunk into meaninglessness, into eternal disorder. You will be right! Nothing will deliver you from disorder and meaninglessness, since this is the other half of the world.”
“The tendency to separate the opposites as much as possible and to strive for singleness of meaning is absolutely necessary for clarity of consciousness, since discrimination is of its essence. But when the separation is carried so far that the complementary opposite is lost sight of, and the blackness of the whiteness, the evil of the good, the depth of the heights, and so on, is no longer seen, the result is one-sidedness, which is then compensated from the unconscious without our help. The counter-balancing is even done against our will, which in consequence must become more and more fanatical until it brings about a catastrophic enantiodromia.”
"It is not I who create myself, rather I happen to myself."
"For the alchemist, the one primarily in need of redemption is not man, but the deity who is lost and sleeping in matter."
A political situation is the manifestation of a parallel psychological problem in millions of individuals. This problem is largely unconscious; which makes it a particularly dangerous one!
