C G Jung

Quotes from The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga

"God is simply a word for the non-ego."

"..people who have problematic natures with many conflicts are the people who can produce the greatest understanding, because from their own problematic natures they are enabled to see other sides and to judge by comparison."

"We are perhaps identical even with our own worst enemy. In other words, our worst enemy is perhaps ourselves."

"People lose themselves completely in their emotions and deplete themselves, and finally they are burned to bits and nothing remains - just a heap of ashes, that is all. The same thing occurs in lunacy: people get into a certain state and cannot get out of it. They burn up in their emotions and explode. There is a possibility that one detaches from it, however, and when a man discovers this, he really becomes a man."

"...it is sometimes an ideal not to have any kind of convictions or feelings that are not based upon reality. One must even educate people....that their emotions ought to have a real basis, that they cannot swear hell and damnation at somebody on a mere assumption, and that there are absolute reasons why they are not justified in doing such a thing. They really have to learn that their feelings should be based on facts."
