“We shall explore the central role of relatedness in emotional health in Chapters 4 and 5, when we look at the structural and dynamic aspects of our anti-related energies.”

“When excessive kindness is expressed externally, the cruelty of which all humans are capable sinks down into the internal world. Cruelty eventually develops beyond the control of the ego and gains autonomy. In ordinary circumstances, the ego maintains a balance between kindness and cruelty: kindness – ego – cruelty. But superhuman kindness, like an angel, cannot be controlled by the ego. Some cue gets triggered, and it flips over. In the case of “The Black Cat,” the trigger was alcohol.”

“Feeling is the ability to value: mood is being overtaken or possessed by the inner feminine. To feel is the sublime art of having a value structure and a sense of meaning—where one belongs, where one’s allegiance is, where one’s roots are. To mood (we are already in difficulty since there is no adequate term for being caught up in a mood) is to be in the grips of the feminine part of our nature, to be overwhelmed by an irrational element that plays havoc with a man’s outer life. The feminine side of a man is to connect him within the depths of his inner being and to make a bridge to his deepest self.”
― Robert A. Johnson, He: Understanding Masculine Psychology

“物理定律是集體無意識中浮現的觀點透過原型聯想在心靈（意識／無意識）的投射；換句話說，是他在這兩個十字架端點所繪製的四個對立概念間的此消彼長370。 　　曼荼羅奠定了做為心理學和量子物理學核心的基本互補性。玻爾曾談到「人類思想形成的整體難處，就深植在區分主體和客體371」。”
