More From Carl Jung

Promptings for us to do good come from the holy ghost. these promptings nudge us further along the straight and narrow path of discipleship. the natural man doesn't automatically think of doing good. it isn't natural. how many people worry about the car behind them or the person below them? the natural man just doesn't do it. for us, however, these promptings enlarge our awareness of other people's needs and then prod us to act accordingly.

Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. sapere aude! have the courage to use your own intelligence! is therefore the motto of the enlightenment.
Determination Men Self
Let man only approach his own self with a deep respect, even reverence for all that the creative soul, the god-mystery within us, puts forth. then we shall all be sound and free. lewdness is hateful because it impairs our integrity and our proud being. the creative, spontaneous soul sends forth its promptings of desire and aspiration in us. these promptings are our true fate, which is our business to fulfill. a fate dictated from outside, from theory or from circumstance, is a false fate.
Fate Self Creative
Enlightenment is always there. small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. if you breathe in and are aware that you are alive - that you can touch the miracle of being alive - then that is a kind of enlightenment.

I want to say, and this is very important: at the end we lucked out. it was luck that prevented nuclear war. we came that close to nuclear war at the end. rational individuals: kennedy was rational; khrushchev was rational; castro was rational. rational individuals came that close to total destruction of their societies. and that danger exists today.
War Luck Important
Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
