- Carl Jung
“All of us must face our shadow side. This is especially important for magicians who seek to delve into the inner recesses of the human psyche-the mind of the microcosm. No spiritual progress can be made without it. We must discover the distinct characteristics of our shadow (as opposed to other parts of the psyche such as the ego), and recognize it for what it is-a natural part...

The Golden Scarab Synchronicity
My example concerns a young woman patient who, in spite of efforts made on both sides, proved to be psychologically inaccessible. The difficulty lay in the fact that she always knew better about everything. Her excellent education had provided her with a weapon ideally suited to this purpose, namely a highly polished Cartesian rationalism with an impeccably “geometrical” idea of...

Carl Jung's Dream

“He dreamt that he was on the top floor of an old house, well furnished and with fine paintings on the walls. He marveled that this should be his house and thought...

“The personality is seldom, in the beginning, what it will be later on. For this reason the possibility of enlarging it exists, at least during the first half of life. The enlargement may be affected through an accretion from without, by new vital contents finding their way into the personality from outside and being assimilated. In this way a considerable increase in personality may be...
