More Quotes from Carl Gustav Jung:
The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experience you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous character.Carl Gustav Jung

Carl Gustav Jung

Carl Gustav Jung
