Freedom of will is the ability to do
gladly that
which I must do. |

Loneliness
does not come from having no people about one, but from
being unable to communicate the things that seem important to
oneself,
or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in
the
year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness,
and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

An understanding heart
is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly
enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant
teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human
feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material,
but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and
for the soul of the child.
I have
frequently seen people become neurotic when they content
themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions
of life. They seek position, marriage, reputation, outward
success of money, and remain unhappy and neurotic even when
they have attained what they were seeking. Such people are
usually confined within too narrow a spiritual horizon.
Their life has not sufficient content, sufficient meaning.
If they are enabled to develop into more spacious
personalities, the neurosis generally disappears.

If
there is anything that we wish to change in the child,
we should first examine it and see whether it is not
something that could better be changed in ourselves.
It is often
tragic to see how blatantly one bungles one's own life and
the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how
much
the whole tragedy originates in him- or herself, and how one
continually
feeds it and keeps it going.

Nothing
has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment
and especially on their children than the unlived life of the
parent. |

Art
is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him
or her its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is
sometimes
necessary for one to sacrifice happiness and everything that
makes life worth living for the ordinary human being. |

|
We
should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect;
we apprehend it just as much by feeling. Therefore, the judgment
of
the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth, and must,
if it be honest, also come to an understanding of its inadequacy. |
| |
|
Without
this playing with fantasy, no creative work has ever yet come to
birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is
incalculable. |

Carl Gustav Jung (26 July 1875
– 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychotherapist and psychiatrist who
founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the
concepts of the extraverted and the introverted personality,
archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been
influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, literature,
and related fields.
Individuation is the central
concept of analytical psychology.
Jung considered individuation, the psychological process of
integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the
unconscious while still maintaining their relative autonomy, to be
the central process of human development.
Jung saw the human psyche as "by nature religious",
and made this religiousness the focus of his
explorations.
Jung is one of the best known contemporary contributors to dream
analysis and symbolization.
Though he was a practicing
clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his
life's work was spent exploring tangential areas, including Eastern
and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well
as literature and the arts. His interest in philosophy and the
occult led many to view him as a mystic.
