More From Carl Jung

Instinct is like nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.
Historical Conservative Creation
Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows through persecution and opposition. it is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.

We know only a single science, the science of history. history can be contemplated from two sides, it can be divided into the history of nature and the history of mankind. however, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.

The savage interrupted him. "but isn't it natural to feel there's a god?" "you might as well ask if it's natural to do up one's trousers with zippers," said the controller sarcastically. "you remind me of another of those old fellows called bradley. he defined philosophy as the finding of bad reason for what one believes by instinct. as if one believed anything by instinct! one believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them. finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons – that's philosophy. people believe in god because they've been conditioned to."

Look at the great athletes, musician, artists, and writers. they all tap into a source. some call that source god or soul or spirit or consciousness. the seven faces of intention: creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance, and receptivity. and all seven are expressions of what i imagine that source to look like. the very fact that we exist is proof to me that the nature of that source is creative at its core. and there isn't a person reading this who does not have a gnawing sense inside that there's something they're here to do, something creative.

Where the good begins.- where the poor power of the eye can no longer see the evil impulse as such because it has become too subtle, man posits the realm of goodness; and the feeling that we have now entered the realm of goodness excites all those impulses which had been threatened and limited by the evil impulses, like the feeling of security, of comfort, of benevolence. hence, the duller the eye, the more extensive the good. hence the eternal cheerfulness of the common people and of children. hence the gloominess and grief - akin to a bad conscience - of the great thinkers.

"but even if he has been wicked," pursued rose, "think how young he is; think that he may never have known a mother's love, or the comfort of a home; that ill-usage and blows, or the want of bread, may have driven him to herd with men who have forced him to guilt. aunt, dear aunt, for mercy's sake, think of this, before you let them drag this sick child to a prison, which in any case must be the grave of all his chances of amendment."
