More From Carl Jung

I believe in revelation, but not in revelation which each religion claims to possess, but in the living revelation which surrounds us on every side - mighty, eternal, unceasing, incorruptible, clear, distinct, universal as is the being from whom it proceeds, in that revelation which speaks to us and penetrates us from the moment we are born until we die.
Believe Sides Speak
How wonderful it is that we believe in modern revelation. i cannot get over the feeling that if revelation were needed anciently, when life was simple, that revelation is also needed today, when life is complex. there never was a time in the history of the earth when men needed revelation more than they need it now.
Believe Simple Men
Do you want a sign that you're asleep? here it is: you're suffering. suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. suffering occurs when you clash with reality. when your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. otherwise there is no suffering.
Inspirational Pain Eye
Revelation is necessarily limited to the first communication- after that it is only an account of something which that person says was a revelation made to him; and though he may find himself obliged to believe it, it can not be incumbent on me to believe it in the same manner; for it was not a revelation made to me, and i have only his word for it that it was made to him.
Believe Communication Religion
Religious distress is at the same time the expression of the real distress and also the protest against real distress. religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of the spiritless condition. it is the opium of the people.
Religious Real Heart
[s]uppose the mind of [a] friend of humanity were clouded over with his own grief, extinguishing all sympathetic participation in the fate of others; he still has the resources to be beneficent to those suffering distress, but the distress of others does not touch him because he is sufficiently busy with his own; and now, where no inclination any longer stimulates him to it, he tears himself out of his deadly insensibility and does the action without any inclination, solely from duty.

Similar Quotes
There are people who have an appetite for grief; pleasure is not strong enough and they crave pain. they have mithridatic stomachs which must be fed on poisoned bread, natures so doomed that no prosperity can sooth their ragged and dishevelled desolation.
Strong Pain Grief
For a second, i feel a sense of overwhelming grief: for how things change, for the fact that we can never go back. i'm not certain of anything anymore. i don't know what will happen--

The only cure for grief is action.
Motivational Self Esteem Grief
What happens when you have great grief in your life is the arteries of that heart begins to spasms down, just literally squeezes down like this because you're feeling the tension of your life and then the heart muscle itself will also begin - to get stressed out.
