“We speak of extraversion when he gives his whole interest to the outer world, to the object, and attributes an extraordinary importance and value to it. When, on the contrary, the objective world sinks into the shadow, at it were, or undergoes a devaluation, while the individual occupies the center of his own interest and becomes in his own eyes the only person worthy of consideration.” - C.G. Ju...

“If a man says he is the triple god or the pope or Jesus, I say: "Why not?-anybody can be Jesus." But it happened once that I had another man in the same ward who said he was Jesus too; we had two Jesuses, and how could I make out which was the one? I simply put them together in the same room to let them have it out.” - C.G. Jung Jung worked his whole life as therapists, since his time fre...

“The secret of alchemy was in fact the transcendent function, the transformation of personality through the blending and fusion of the noble with the base components, of the differentiated with the inferior functions, of the conscious with the unconscious.” Jung spent almost half his life studying alchemy. Unburying ancient texts, translating them, analysing their symbolism. Why? Because he saw th...

“The functions are vehicles for the forces, or influences, or activities, which emanate from those two principles, those two gods, Logos and Eros. And perhaps you can also understand that if there were no principles whatever outside of the functions, one could never hope to detach anything form the unconscious. There must be something which helps one to detach a function, some principle outside wh...

“The inferior function contains the priceless treasure of life force and therefore it is so important to bring it up. It is not for vulgar or criminal purposes, for the sake of its evil, that I try to bring out the swine or the criminal in people-whatever kindly critics may think.” - C.G. Jung For Jung our dark and hidden parts are the gate to personal development. The most immediate path we have...

“The appearance of an archetype in our psychology is always a moment of the greatest danger as well as the greatest hope.” C.G. Jung There are patterns deep inside the human psyche that are older than humans. They were experienced and codified by past cultures as mythology, stories and religion. These patterns of behavior are described by Jung as archetypes. Join this event to learn more about the...

If someone manages to endure suffering at all, they have already accomplished an almost superhuman task.“ - C.G. Jung Is it...

Shiva dances the origin and the destruction of the world. The birth of the dancing star out of chaos is a symbol of creation.“ - C.G. Jung In my investigations into the concepts and ideas of the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung I stumble upon topics that are so...

Jung The topic of Shadow is one of the most widely known and often misunderstood concepts. In this event I want to explore an a...

Jung The list of influences on the 1999 movie hit The Matrix is extensive. Incomprehensibly extensive. From cyberpunk to anime over comic books a...

„The Tarot in itself is an attempt at representing the constituents of the flow of the unconscious, and therefore it is applicable for an intuitive method that has the purpose of understanding the flow of life, possibly even predicting future events, at all events lending itself to the reading of the conditions of the present moment.” C.G. Jung There are multiple ways how to engage with the uncons...

“After all, miracles no longer happen in our world, and we think that something should happen now to provide an answer or a way out. And now these UFOs appear in the sky.” C.G. Jung What comes after all the ghosts and devils left nature and the divine was banished from its holy places? According to Jung, people started to notice lights in the sky. As always in the psyche, things are not gone, they...

“All our split-off parts return, all the people we meet in life who have a fascination influence upon us are really split-off parts of ourselves, things we have repressed which are brought back by other people, and that is the great value and the great danger and difficulty of human relationship.” - C.G. Jung Who we meet and befriend is not random, it follows a deep psychological drive that is lik...

“In the symbol of the dying and resurrecting god, man expressed a psychological phenomenon into which he projected himself at a time when, emotionally, he was still identical with nature. But through development he became aware that it was not the spring outside, it was the spring or the vanishing of spring in himself which concerned him.” C.G. Jung The beginning is the end. On death follows rebir...

“Comparing modern psychology with modern physics is not just empty talk. Despite their diametrically opposed fields, both disciplines have one highly significant point in common: both approach the previously “transcendental” sphere of the invisible and untouchable, the world of pure analogical thinking.” - C.G. Jung Jung’s relationship to physics is more profound that most people know. Starting wi...

“Completeness belongs to the nature of your best effort; it must contain the irrational as well as the rational, the unconscious as well as the conscious attempt. Therefore magic means are often exceedingly grotesque. Think of the magic medicine of the Middle Ages, for instance, or the secrets of the alchemical kitchen, or the contents of magic amulets-like the ground-up bones of a bat-it all seem...

“An anima relationship is never a normal relationship, but always something fantastical. A man sees his female face in the anima, and that is dangerous; the anima transforms everything it touches. Wherever it is active, it visualizes one’s own image, a man’s own image, and this is his female being, an invisible minority that he carries inside himself.” C.G. Jung A man’s drive comes from a deep pla...

„Man’s effort to achieve wholeness correspond, as the divine myth shows, to a voluntary sacrifice of the self to the bondage of earthly existence.“ C.G. Jung Given his surname, Jung (young) saw it as ironic that he was engrossed by transformation and rebirth in his investigations, same as the Freud (joy) was so focused on sexuality. But to be reborn, something needs to die first. Find my work on L...

“Eros without the Logos inside never understands, there is nothing but blind relatedness. Such people can be related to God knows what - like certain woman who are dissolved completely in little happy families - cousins, relations - and there is nothing in the whole damned thing, it is all perfectly empty.” C.G. Jung Who could have thought that breakfast eggs could be of such psychological signifi...

“Nobody will ever become conscious if he does not hit his head on something.” - C.G. Jung Consciousness act as the center point for Jung’s model of the psyche, as something so important that everything else that exists needs to be put into reference to it: The unconscious, the things that are not in consciousness. What it is, how it works and what’s its purpose is will all be part of this event. F...

“This is the stuff that drives people crazy, because they can’t catch themselves anymore; they can no longer control themselves when they have that animal psychology. It means they are driven by instinct. They see a thing and leap for it. That is the condition of schizophrenia, for all those things appear also in cases of insanity; they are dynamite that can easily explode in the human mind.” - C....

“Ladies and gentleman, considering that your seat, this room, this lightening, our entire culture are nothing other than products of human fantasy, then you cannot overlook this. There is nothing man-made known to you that is not fantasy. Fantasy is the alpha and the omega of psychic life. Fantasy is the greatest danger of all. Do you believe that a landslide or an earthquake is as dangerous as hu...

„Although we human beings have our own personal life, we are yet in large measure the representatives, the victims and promoters of a collective spirit whose years are counted in centuries. We can well think all our lives long that we are following our own noses, and may never discover that we are, for the most part, supernumeraries on the stage of the world theater.“ - C.G. Jung There is somethin...
