More From Carl Jung

Instinct is like nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.
Historical Conservative Creation
Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows through persecution and opposition. it is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.

We know only a single science, the science of history. history can be contemplated from two sides, it can be divided into the history of nature and the history of mankind. however, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.

The savage interrupted him. "but isn't it natural to feel there's a god?" "you might as well ask if it's natural to do up one's trousers with zippers," said the controller sarcastically. "you remind me of another of those old fellows called bradley. he defined philosophy as the finding of bad reason for what one believes by instinct. as if one believed anything by instinct! one believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them. finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons – that's philosophy. people believe in god because they've been conditioned to."

Look at the great athletes, musician, artists, and writers. they all tap into a source. some call that source god or soul or spirit or consciousness. the seven faces of intention: creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance, and receptivity. and all seven are expressions of what i imagine that source to look like. the very fact that we exist is proof to me that the nature of that source is creative at its core. and there isn't a person reading this who does not have a gnawing sense inside that there's something they're here to do, something creative.

Where the good begins.- where the poor power of the eye can no longer see the evil impulse as such because it has become too subtle, man posits the realm of goodness; and the feeling that we have now entered the realm of goodness excites all those impulses which had been threatened and limited by the evil impulses, like the feeling of security, of comfort, of benevolence. hence, the duller the eye, the more extensive the good. hence the eternal cheerfulness of the common people and of children. hence the gloominess and grief - akin to a bad conscience - of the great thinkers.

In old age the consolation of hope is reserved for the tenderness of parents, who commence a new life in their children, the faith of enthusiasts, who sing hallelujahs above the clouds; and the vanity of authors, who presume the immortality of their name and writings.

What child has a heart to sing in this capricious clime of ours, when spring comes sailing in from the sea, with wet and heavy cloud-sails and the misty pennon of the east-wind nailed to the mast.
