C.G. Jung
“The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.”
Carl Gustav Jung

“To put this in perspective, if most of the animals in the ocean are bioluminescent (from single-celled bacteria to colossal squid) then a majority of the creatures on the planet are communicating using language-of-light dialects that we don’t comprehend.”
Dr Edith Widder

C.G. Jung
“The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance. Thus we demand that the world grant us recognition for qualities which we regard as personal possessions: our talent or our beauty. The more a man lays stress on false possessions, and the less sensitivity he has for what is essential, the less satisfying is his life. He feels limited because he has limited aims, and the result is envy and jealousy. If we understand and feel that here in this life we already have a link with the infinite, desires and attitudes change.”
Carl Gustav Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

“Words are animals, alive with a will of their own”
Carl Gustav Jung

“The adjective heard most often is magical. The pure magic of living light harkens back to childhood fantasies of secret grottos, wizards’ caves and unicorn haunts, where the mushrooms in fairy rings glow with cold green fire and a wave of the hand sends multicolored sparks streaming from fingertips. Real-world encounters with some enchantments manifest as children chasing fireflies on warm summer nights, lovers strolling a beach hand in hand with the Milky Way overhead while sprinklings of sea sparkle gild their footprints in the sand, and kayakers on a moonless night creating luminous blue explosions and sprays of liquid light with each dip and arc of their paddles.”
Dr Edith Widder
