Every step closer to my soul excites the scornful laughter of my devils, those cowardly ear-whisperers and poison-mixers. - Carl Jung

Our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the root of our being. Dealing with the unconscious has become a question of life for us.

The great problems of life — sexuality, of course, among others — are always related to the primordial images of the collective unconscious. These images are really balancing or compensating factors which correspond with the problems life presents in actuality. This is not to be marvelled at, since these images are deposits representing the accumulated experience of thousands of years of struggle for adaptation and existence.

The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.
