All CARL JUNG Quotes about “Giving”

“Trust that which gives you meaning and accept it as your guide”
“It is my mind, with its store of images, that gives the world color and sound . . . Everything is mediated through the mind.”
“Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force”
“As soon as the dialogue between two people touches on something fundamental, essential, numinous, and a certain rapport is felt, it gives rise to a phenomenon which LÃ©vy-Bruhl fittingly called participation mystique. It is an unconscious identity in which two individual psychic spheres interpenetrate to such a degree that it is impossible to say what belongs to whom.”
“The woman is increasingly aware that love alone can give her full stature, just as the man begins to discern that spirit alone can endow his life with its highest meaning. Fundamentally, therefore, both seek a psychic relation to the other, because love needs the spirit, and the spirit love, for their fulfillment.”
“The facts of nature cannot in the long run be violated. Penetrating and seeping through everything like water, they will undermine any system that fails to take account of them, and sooner or later they will bring about its downfall. But an authority wise enough in its statesmanship to give sufficient free play to nature - of which spirit is a part - need fear no premature decline.”
“Whenever you hear anyone talking about a cultural or even about a human problem, you should never forget to inquire who the speaker really is. The more general the problem, the more the person will smuggle his or her own personal psychology into the account he or she gives of it.”
“The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one's own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, when you find that you can not support yourself. Only this experience can give you an indestructible foundation.”
“I deliberately and consciously give preference to a dramatic, mythological way of thinking and speaking, because this is not only more expressive but also more exact than an abstract scientific terminology, which is wont to toy with the notion that its theoretic formulations may one fine day be resolved into algebraic equations.”
“The creative process, so far as we are able to follow it at all, consists in the unconscious activation of an archetypal image and elaborating and shaping the image into the finished work. By giving it shape, the artist translates it into the language of the present and so makes it possible for us to find our way back to the deepest springs of life.”
“You can take away a man's gods, but only to give him others in return.”
“There is, howÂever, a strong empirÂiÂcal reaÂson why we should culÂtiÂvate thoughts that can never be proved. It is that they are known to be useÂful. Man posÂiÂtively needs genÂeral ideas & conÂvicÂtions that will give a meanÂing to his life & enable him to find a place for himÂself in the uniÂverse. He can stand the most incredÂiÂble hardÂships when he is conÂvinced that they make sense; he is crushed when on top of all his misÂforÂtunes, he has to admit that he is takÂing part in a â€˜tale told by an idiot.â€™”
“A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. They then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a flame may dart out and set fire to his own house. Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force.”
“Everyone can afford to give away a smile.”
“Man positively needs general ideas and convictions that will give a meaning to his life and enable him to find a place for himself in the universe.”
