C.G. Jung
“These utterances on the nature of the Deity express transformations of the God-image which run parallel with changes in human consciousness, though one would be at a loss to say which is the cause of the other. The God-image is not something invented, it is an experience that comes upon man spontaneously—as anyone can see for himself unless he is blinded to the truth by theories and prejudices. The unconscious God-image can therefore alter the state of consciousness, just as the latter can modify the God-image once it has become conscious. This, obviously, has nothing to do with the “prime truth,” the unknown God—at least, nothing that could be verified. Psychologically, however, the idea of God’s ἀγνωσία, or of the ἀνεννóητος θεóς, is of the utmost importance, because it identifies the Deity with the numinosity of the unconscious. The atman / purusha philosophy of the East and, as we have seen, Meister Eckhart in the West both bear witness to this.”
C.G. Jung, Aion: Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self

Jeffrey Eugenides
“I hadn’t gotten old enough yet to realize that living sends a person not into the future but back into the past, to childhood and before birth, finally, to commune with the dead. You get older, you puff on the stairs, you enter the body of your father. From there it’s only a quick jump to your grandparents, and then before you know it you’re time-traveling. In this life we grow backwards.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex

Anthony Giddens
“The reflexivity of the self, in conjunction with the influence of abstract systems, pervasively affects the body as well as psychic processes. The body is less and less an extrinsic ‘given’, functioning outside the internally referential systems of modernity, but becomes itself reflexively mobilized. What might appear as a
wholesale movement towards the narcissistic cultivation of bodily appearance is in fact an expression of a concern lying much
deeper actively to ‘construct’ and control the body.”

“Agonia: form the Greek agon, contest. The origin of agony is competition, struggle. To be in agony is to measure yourself against others, a Sisyphean task. Perhaps agony is the very definition of being in the world and playing by its rules.”
Kassabova Kapka, Border: A Journey to the Edge of Europe

Yuval Noah Harari
“Human life is a balancing act between endeavouring to improve ourselves and accepting who we were.”
Yuval Noah Harari, NEXUS: A Brief History of Infomation Networks from the Stone Age to AI (Volume.2) [Japanese Edition]
