"Many people cannot refrain from picking up stones of a slightly unusual color or shape and keeping them, without knowing why they do this.

It is as if the stones held a living mystery that fascinates them.

Men have collected stones since the beginning of time and have apparently assumed that certain ones were the containers of the life-force with all its mystery..

In this sense the stone symbolizes what is perhaps the simplest and deepest experience —the experience of something eternal that man can have in those moments when he feels immortal and unalterable."

"A man who is unconscious of himself acts in a blind, instinctive way."

"Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions is a characteristic of Western [thinking], but not the confrontation with the shadow and the world of darkness. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."

~ Carl G. Jung

"The shadow is simply the dark side of someone's personality. And what is dark is always known only indirectly through projection. That is, one discovers his dark side as something belonging to others: friends, relatives, fictitious characters, etc."

"People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid Facing their own soul."

Happy Birthday, C.G. Jung!

AS FAR AS WE CAN DISCERN, THE SOLE PURPOSE OF HUMAN EXISTENCE IS TO KINDLE A LIGHT IN DARKNESS OF MERE BEING.

You cannot apply kindness and understanding to others if you have not applied it to yourself.

Happy birthday, Sıgmund Freud!

Sigismund Schlomo Freud was born May 6th 1856 in Freiberg, Mähren (Tschechien). Here with his chows.

"It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life."

~ Sigmund Freud, 'Civilization and Its Discontents'.

"I had learned in the meanwhile that the greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They can never be solved, but only outgrown."

~ C. G. Jung, 'The Secret of the Golden Flower'
