“Instead of using the term God you say “unconscious,” instead of Christ “[Self/]self,” instead of incarnation “integration of the unconscious,” instead of salvation or redemption “individuation,” instead of crucifixion or sacrifice on the Cross “realization of … ‘wholeness’”.”
― Barbara Stevens Sullivan, The Mystery of Analytical Work: Weavings from Jung and Bion

“包立的曼荼羅中，能量和時空、因果關係和共時性，是互補又各自獨立的，就像光明和黑暗以及生與死。這兩者都是不可或缺的，彼此之間的張力為現實提供了物質意義。”
― Arthur I. Miller, 數字與夢: 榮格心理學對一個物理學家的夢之分析

“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

“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.”
