I saw that everything, all paths i had been following, all steps i had taken, were leading back to a single point - namely, to the mid-point. it became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. it is the exponent of all paths. it is the path to the center, to individuation. i knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self i had attained what was for me the ultimate.

I Saw That Everything, All Paths I

Carl Jung

I saw that everything, all paths i had been following, all steps i had taken, were leading back to a single point - namely, to the mid-point. it became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. it is the exponent of all paths. it is the path to the center, to individuation. i knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self i had attained what was for me the ultimate.

More From Carl Jung

My mandalas were cryptograms concerning the state of the self which was presented to me anew each day...i guarded them like precious pearls....it became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. it is the exponent of all paths. it is the path to the center, to individuation.

On all the walls, wherever walls exist, i will inscribe this eternal indictment of christianity--i have letters to make even blindmen see.... i call christianity the single great curse, the single great innermost depravity, the single great instinct of revenge, for which no means is poisonous, secretive, subterranean, small enough--i call it mankind's single immortal blemish.... and we reckon time from the dies nefastus with which this calamity arose--following christianity's first day!--why not following its last day, instead?--following today?--transvaluation of all values!

This rose became a bandanna, which became a house, which became infused with all passion, which became a hideaway, which became yes i would like to have dinner, which became hands, which became lands, shores, beaches, natives on the stones, staring and wild beasts in the trees, chasing the hats of lost hunters, and all this deserves a tone.

It's not a mid-life crisis. it's a mid-life disaster. a mid-life crisis is when you wake up with everything and you go "i have everything but i'm still unhappy."
