"..Morgan was relieved, too, when she and Jung patched up the breach between them. Jung came to Harvard to receive an honorary degree during its tercentenary celebration in 1936; Morgan and he had lunch and dinner together and took long walks in Harvard Yard. She presided at the clinic when he and other honorees, including Jungs mentor Pierre Janet came to lunch. Morgan seated Jung in the place of honor at her right, and he proceeded to scandalize some of his fellow dignitaries by spending more time flirting with his hostess than talking with them."

- Claire Douglas, Translate this Darkness: The Life of Christiana Morgan, the Veiled Woman in Jung's Circle

“The astrological image of the Aquarian period is an image of man which, accor- ding to Jung, represents the Anthropos as an image of the Self, or of the greater inner personality which lives in every human being and in the collective psyche. He pours water from a jug into the mouth of a fish, of the constellation of the so-called "Southern Fish," which represents something still unconscious. This could mean that the task of man in the Aquarian Age will be to become conscious of his larger inner presence, the Anthropos, and to give the utmost care to the unconscious and to nature, instead of exploiting it (as is the case today, for the most part).”
--Marie-Louise von Franz

"..When the curtain came down on the final scene of “The Third Reich” and the theater in which it played lay in ruins, there remained little appetite for myth and symbol in the land. (The same was true for Japan, where the cultural myth of the divine Emperor was shattered by the military defeat and occupation.) There had been too much of the numinous afoot in the collective psyche, and it had contributed to the devastation. Numinosity was cancelled as a cultural option, and irony and rationality took charge of the culture. While defensive, this also represented a return to sanity."

"Archetypal possession in a collective invests certain ideas and policies with defensive certainty and denies the legitimacy and standing of doubt. Contrary thoughts and images are savagely repressed. This was the case with German collective psychology at the time. There was no space for reflection, for questioning, for serious debate, never mind contrary views. Conviction based on archetypal backing seemingly cuts off circulation to the neo-cortex and fires the emotions. The old reptilian and limbic brains take over and rule."

"..But one always needed to be cautious of the archetypal dimensions of evil: “Archetypal evil can neither be cured nor integrated nor humanized. It can only be held at bay. These experiences lead one to appreciate anew the value of morality with what else but morality can the psyche protect itself against archetypal Evil? In this sense, all morality does come from the Devil: it is the psyche's own answer to its own evil capabilities.” Ultimately, the dilemmas posed by the shadow problem “lead into the wider realm of feeling, and especially the education or cultivation of the feeling side of ourselves.”

An analyst faced again and again with suicidal people is forced to consider his own death and where he is lacking, because the people who come for therapy bring the analyst his own problems. This attitude differs from that of the physician, who does not regard the diseases and complaints brought to his consulting room as somehow belonging also to him. The unique relationship involving the analyst with the other at the same time prevents anyone else from the same sort of participation in the case, so that an analyst carries each death alone.
