 <\/p>\n

Carl Jung, <\/em>a famous psychotherapist,\u00a0<\/em>was convinced that life has a spiritual purpose beyond material goals. Life is a journey of transformation. It’s the journey to meet the Self and the Divine at the same time. A person’s spiritual experiences is essential to his\/her well being. I believe this idea of transformation, of finding the Self and the Divine within, really applies to depression. Depression is a journey, an enormous experience, where you get reacquainted with yourself and whatever you believe the Divine to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So with that in mind, I googled some of what Carl Jung said. Here are 20 quotes by Carl Jung to understand yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.”<\/span>One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

2. \u201cDon\u2019t hold on\u00a0to\u00a0someone who\u2019s leaving, otherwise you won\u2019t meet the one who\u2019s coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. \u201cUntil you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. \u201cEverything that irritates\u00a0us about others can lead\u00a0us to\u00a0an\u00a0understanding of\u00a0ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. \u201cThe meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. \u201cI am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. \u201cKnowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. \u201cIf\u00a0you are a\u00a0gifted person, it\u00a0doesn\u2019t mean that you gained something. It\u00a0means you have something to\u00a0give back.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. \u201cMistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. \u201cYour visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

11. \u201cPeople will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.\u201d<\/p>\n

12. \u201cLoneliness does not come from having no\u00a0people around, but from being unable to\u00a0communicate the things that seem important to\u00a0oneself, or\u00a0from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.\u201d<\/p>\n

13. \u201cDepression is\u00a0like a\u00a0woman in\u00a0black. If\u00a0she turns\u00a0up, don\u2019t shoo her away. Invite her\u00a0in, offer her a\u00a0seat, treat her like a\u00a0guest and listen to\u00a0what she wants to\u00a0say.\u201d<\/p>\n

14. \u201cA\u00a0man who has not passed through the inferno of\u00a0his passions has never overcome them.\u201d<\/p>\n

15. \u201cYour perception will become clear only when you can look into your soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

16. \u201cI\u00a0am not what happened to\u00a0me, I\u00a0am what\u00a0I choose to\u00a0become.\u201d<\/p>\n

17. \u201cWhat you resist, persists.\u201d<\/p>\n

18. \u201cA\u00a0dream is\u00a0a\u00a0small hidden door in\u00a0the deepest and most intimate sanctum of\u00a0the soul, which opens up\u00a0to\u00a0that primeval cosmic night that was the soul, long before there was the conscious ego.\u201d<\/p>\n

19. \u201cWe\u00a0may think that we\u00a0fully control ourselves. However, a\u00a0friend can easily reveal something about\u00a0us that we\u00a0have absolutely no\u00a0idea about.\u201d<\/p>\n

20. \u201cEverything about other people that doesn\u2019t satisfy\u00a0us helps\u00a0us to\u00a0better understand ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
