Whenever there is a reaching down into innermost experience, into the nucleus of personality, most people are overcome by fear and many run away. . . the risk of inner experience, the adventure of the spirit, is in any case alien to most human beings. the possibility that such experience might have psychic reality is anathema to them.

Whenever There Is A Reaching Down Into

Carl Jung

More From Carl Jung

We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. it is a way of bitter suffering. but then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is god, the indivisible. and suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.
Loneliness Self Soul
A woman's chastity consists, like an onion, of a series of coats. you may strip off the outer ones without doing much mischief, perhaps none at all ; but you keep taking off one after another, in expectation of coming to the inner nucleus, including the whole value of the matter. it proves, however, that there is no such nucleus, and that chastity is diffused through the whole series of coats, is lessened with the removal of each, and vanishes with the final one which you supposed would introduce you to the hidden pearl.
Expectations Finals Onions
And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.
Zoos Believe Animal
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Man is not by any means of fixed and enduring form (this, in spite of suspicions to the contrary on the part of their wise men, was the ideal of the ancients). he is nothing else than the narrow and perilous bridge between nature and spirit. his innermost destiny drives him on to the spirit and to god. his innermost longing draws him back to nature, the mother. between the two forces his life hangs tremulous and irresolute.
Wise Mother Mean
Whenever i finish a book, i go off and have some kind of adventure. having had an adventure in my writing chair or on my writing sofa, an internal adventure, then i need to balance that off with an external adventure, so i'll go tramping through africa or whitewater rafting or float to hawaii in a martini shaker or something.
