Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
C.G. Jung
The world of the grotesque is the darkness within us. Well before Freud and Jung shined a light on the workings of the subconscious, this correlation between darkness and our subconscious, these two forms of darkness, was obvious to people. It wasn’t a metaphor, even. If you trace it back further, it wasn’t even a correlation. Until Edison invented the electric light, most of the world was totally covered in darkness. The physical darkness outside and the inner darkness of the soul were mixed together, with no boundary separating the two. They were directly linked. Like this.” Oshima brings his two hands together tightly. "But today things are different. The darkness in the outside world has vanished, but the darkness in our hearts remains, virtually unchanged. Just like an iceberg, what we label the ego or consciousness is, for the most part, sunk in darkness. And that estrangement sometimes creates a deep contradiction or confusion within us.
Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the Shore)
A million zeros joined together do not, unfortunately, add up to one. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the individual, but our fatally shortsighted age thinks only in terms of large numbers and mass organizations, though one would think that the world had seen more than enough of what a well-disciplined mob can do in the hands of a single madman. Unfortunately, this realization does not seem to have penetrated very far - and our blindness is extremely dangerous.
C.G. Jung (The Essential Jung: Selected Writings)
If only a world-wide consciousness could arise that all division and fission are due to the splitting of opposites in the psyche, then we should know where to begin.
C.G. Jung (The Essential Jung: Selected Writings)
The left half of your brain deals with logic, language, calculation, and reason. This is the half people perceive as their personal identity. This is the conscious, rational, everyday basis of reality. The right side of your brain, is the center of your intuition, emotion, insight, and pattern recognition skills. Your subconscious. Your left brain is a scientist,. Your right brain is an artist. People live their lives out of the left half of their brains. It's only when someone is in extreme pain, or upset or sick, that their subconscious can slip into the conscious. When someone's injured or sick or mourning or depressed, the right brain can take over a flash, just an instant, and gives them access to divine inspiration. A flash inspiration. A moment of insight. According to German philosopher Carl Jung, this lets us connect to a universal body of knowledge. The wisdom all people over all time.

After all, everything mystical and occult (hidden) is already gestating within our subconscious, just waiting for us to bring it to life, to reawaken it.
Lawren Leo (Horse Magick: Spells and Rituals for Self-Empowerment, Protection, and Prosperity)
There were two forests for every one you entered. There was the one you walked in, the physical echo, and then there was the one that was connected to all the other forests, with no consideration of distance, or time. The forest primeval, remembered through the collective memory of every tree in the same way that people remembered myth- through the collective subconscious that Jung mapped, the shared mythic resonance that lay buried in every human mind. Legend and myth, all tangled in an alphabet of trees remembered, not always with understanding, but with wonder. With awe.
Charles de Lint (Spiritwalk)
Your outer self has 5 layers. Society wants you to stay within 4 layers: There are gyms for body, the circus to pump up your head, cinema for your heart, religion for your morality. Nobody is there for 5th layer. 5th layer is the dark forest full of guilt, shame, dark thoughts, immoral decisions, emptiness and so on. An individual has to cross this forest alone to reach the most beautiful flower - your pure inner self.
Shunya
...Whoever goes into the mirror of the water will first see his own face[:] whoever goes to himself risks a confrontation with himself. [...] Whoever looks into the water sees his own image, but behind it living creatures soon loom up.
C.G. Jung (The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious (Collected Works 9i))
Ne înşelăm dacă credem că inconştientul este ceva inofensiv … Desigur, el nu este primejdios în orice condiţii; dar de îndată ce apare o nevroză, acesta e un semn că în inconştient există o acumulare de energie, adică un fel de încărcătură care poate exploda … Săpăm cumva ca să dăm de o fântână arteziană şi riscăm să ne izbim de un vulcan.

According to Jung, the lama explained that a mandala was a mental image built up through an individual’s subconscious. It could be used to uncover insights hidden within the layers of the mind and to achieve a state of emotional equilibrium.
Susan Magsamen (Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us)
The public's abiding fascination with flaying saucers, C.G. Jung suggests, 'may be a spontaneous reaction of the subconscious to fear of the apparently insoluble political situation in the world that may lead at any moment to catastrophe. At such times eyes turn heavenwards in search of help, and miraculous forebodings of a threatening or consoling nature appear from on high.
Ken Hollings (Welcome to Mars: Politics, Pop Culture, and Weird Science in 1950s America)
Dr. Carl Jung noted that some dreams were big dreams. Big dreams mean more than other dreams because they usually represent subconscious repeated attempts to either solve or warn about recurrent conflicts. A recurrent dream is virtually always a big dream. The subconscious is throwing out a warning that a major psychological conflict that occurred in the past is once again recurring in the dreamer’s present life. The

The great Swiss psychoanalyst C. G. Jung (cal. 520), noting the ubiquity of archetypal patterns and symbols, deduced the “collective unconscious,” a bottomless, subconscious pool of all the shared experiences of the whole human race. We may think of it as a vast, hidden database of human awareness, characterized by powerful, universal organizing patterns. The great promise of the database—tapping into all that has ever been experienced anywhere in time—is its capacity to “know” virtually anything the moment it is “asked.
David R. Hawkins (The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential)
He suffers, so to speak, from the violence done to him by the self. The analogous passion of Christ signifies God's suffering on account of the injustice of the world and the darkness of man. The human and the divine set up a relationship of complimentarity with compensating effects. Through the Christ-symbol, man can get to know the real meaning of his suffering: he is on the way to realizing his wholeness. As a result of the integration of conscious and unconscious, his ego enters the “divine” realm, where it participates in “God's suffering.” The cause of the suffering is in both cases the same, namely “incarnation,” which on the human level appears as “individuation.
C.G. Jung
The great advantage of scientific abstraction is that it gives us a key to the mysterious processes enacted behind the scenes, where, leaving the colourful world of the theatre behind us, we enter into the ultimate reality of psychic dynamism and psychic meaningfulness. This knowledge strips the unconscious processes of all epiphenomenality and allows them to appear as what our whole experience tells us that they are—autonomous quantities. Consequently, every attempt to derive the unconscious from the conscious sphere is so much empty talk, a sterile, intellectual parlour-game. One suspects this wherever writers cheerfully talk of the “subconscious,” without apparently realizing what an arrogant prejudice they are presuming to express. How do they know, forsooth, that the unconscious is “lower” and not “higher” than the conscious? The only certain thing about this terminology is that consciousness deems itself higher—higher than the gods themselves. One day, let us hope, its “god-almightiness will make it quiver and quake”!
C.G. Jung (Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 5: Symbols of Transformation (The Collected Works of C. G. Jung))
According to Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, the subconscious mind and the unconscious mind contain vastly more content than what we perceive consciously. Freud used the terms “subconscious” and “unconscious” somewhat interchangeably, so we don’t have to get too technical about their differences. He described the unconscious mind as our personal reservoir of traumatic memories, painful emotions, repressed urges and ideas ~ the stuff we don’t usually process well on a conscious level. After

Some processes are unconscious because of deliberate dissociation. In other words, an unpleasant thought or emotion may be dissociated from consciousness not because it is structurally incompatible but because it produces a dissonance with the overall world-view of the person. The unpleasant thought or emotion becomes functionally detached from the rest of consciousness and begins to take on the characteristics of a relatively independent functioning system. Jung regarded this type of unconscious as making up the personal unconscious and, as indicated above, it may also be referred to as the subconscious.
John G. Shobris (Psychology of the Spirit: A New Vision of the Soul Integrating Depth Psychology, Modern Neuroscience, and Ancient Christianity)
Jung also developed the idea of archetypes and the collective unconscious. He believed that far from being a mass of individual minds, humanity was actually connected on some deep subconscious level and this explained why we tend to share the same concepts of good, evil, wrong, right and why certain archetypal characters exist within everyone's minds.
Rob Parnell (The Writer & The Hero's Journey)
La psicologia dell’epoca di Jung e Freud cerca di radicarsi in concetti fisici (come l’energia potenziale) per giustificarsi scientificamente. Vediamo quindi il solco profondo lasciato dalle prime critiche alla psicologia, che la spingono ad abbandonare una personificazione dell’inconscio a favore di un concetto di inconscio non personificato, più neutro e scientifico. Forse questa deriva che ha preso la psicologia, cioè il cercare di giustificarsi scientificamente con concetti presi in prestito alle scienze naturali, ha rappresentato un danno che ha impedito alla psicologia di fare propri concetti apparentemente legati alla religione, come il concetto di anima.
