I'd love to go back to Europe in the '20s and '30s, for the beginning of the Psychoanalytic Movement, and Freud and Jung, and all that was going on with discoveries in quantum physics. The whole nature of reality was changing and being challenged. -- Michael Sheen

If you think along the lines of Nature then you think properly." from the video "Carl Jung speaks about death -- C.G. Jung
You have to think of your brand as a kind of myth. A myth is a compelling story that is archetypal, if you know the teachings of Carl Jung. It has to have emotional content and all the themes of a great story: mystery, magic, adventure, intrigue, conflicts, contradiction, paradox. -- Deepak Chopra

Free will is something that people struggle with so much, but it's very simple to me.

You've got to live with these two opposite ideas at the same time. -- Wayne Dyer
Whether looked at from outside or inside, bodies dissolve, matter vanishes, spirit remains - once we bother to go into the matter.

Extend this statement by Carl Jung to all bodies from electrons to galaxies, and you have the ultimate physics -- Douglas Harding
You use words like 'introvert' and 'extrovert,' various traits of a personality.

I'm not close to him." He looked at me defiantly. "But he's put his whole life into this.

Fantasy is not antirational, but pararational; not realistic but surrealistic, a heightening of reality. In Freud's terminology, it employs primary not secondary process thinking.

It is a wilderness, and those who go there should not feel too safe. -- Ursula K. Le Guin
Psychedelic drugs, especially psilocybin, allow a searchlight to be thrown on these deeper levels of the psyche, as Jung correctly stated. But it is not a museum of archetypes or psychic constructs, as he seemed to assume.
