Quote:The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.......necessary for a person to become whole. - Wikipedia extract on Carl Jung
Quote:4.17 - If the mind knows itself then the most important aspect of healing has occurred
Quote:Most people confuse “self-knowledge” with knowledge of their conscious ego-personalities.
Anyone who has any ego-consciousness at all takes it for granted that he knows himself.
But the ego knows only its own contents, not the unconscious and its contents. ~Carl Jung, CW 10, Para 491
The fact that individual consciousness means separation and opposition is something that
man has experienced countless times in his long history. ~Carl Jung, CW 10, Para 290
It is, however, true that much of the evil in the world comes from the fact that man in general is hopelessly unconscious, as it is also true that with increasing insight we can combat this evil at its source in ourselves, in the same way that science enables us to deal effectively with injuries inflicted from without. ~Carl Jung, CW 10, Para 166
It is indeed no small matter of know of one’s guilt and one’s own evil, and there is certainly nothing to be gained by losing sight of one’s shadow.
Quote:4.17 - consciousness is the microcosm of the Law of One.
