"..Love without knowledge is a passionate and intense, but blind, crude, often dangerous thing, a great power, but also a stumbling-block; love, limited in knowledge, condemns itself in its fervour and often by its very fervour to narrowness; but love leading to perfect knowledge brings the infinite and absolute union. Such love is not inconsistent with, but rather throws itself with joy into divine works; for it loves God and is one with him in all his being, and therefore in all beings, and to work for the world is then to feel and fulfil multitudinously ones love for God."

Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga

"..These exercises must be continued until the cramp in the conscious mind is relaxed, in other words, until one can let things happen, which is the next goal of the exercise. In this way a new attitude
is created, an attitude that accepts the irrational and the incomprehensible simply because it is happening.
This attitude would be poison for a person who is already overwhelmed by the things that happen to him, but it is of the greatest value for one who selects, from among the things that happen,
only those that are acceptable to his conscious judgment, and is gradually drawn out of the stream of life into a stagnant backwater."
(C.G. Jung, CW 13: Alchemical Studies)

"..Jung enjoyed teaching at the University of Zürich and took his lectures seriously. He was always well prepared and, unlike most other professors (especially [Eugen] Bleuler), never waited until the last moment to appear. Rather, he went early to sit quietly on one of the benches in the corridor, where anyone who was interested in his subject could talk to him or ask questions. He “kept his students spellbound by his temperament and the wealth of his ideas,” was communicative and open, and relished how his ideas were being discussed by the community at large."

"..Jung soon acquired a devoted, highly visible female following who marched with poise and self-assurance into his every lecture, commandeering the best seats and thereby earning the enmity of the students, who had to stand at the rear of the auditorium. These women were dubbed the Zürichberg Pelzmäntel, the “fur-coat ladies” from the richest part of the city, dismissed by those who scorned both them and Jung as in the contemporary language of the daughter of one little more than “sex-starved groupies or postmenopausal
hysterics.”

"..I can tell you stories which say that if you meet evil you must fight it, but there are just as many which say that you must run away and not try to fight it. Some say to suffer without hitting back; others say dont be a fool, hit back! There are stories which say that if you are confronted with evil, the only thing to do is to lie your way out of it; others say no, be honest, even toward the Devil, and dont become involved with lying. For all these I could give you examples, but it is always a yes and a no. There are just as many stories which say the one as the other."

Jung stated that it was incorrect to assume extraverts were active people and introverts were passive people, saying instead that extraversion correlates with acting in an immediate, unreflective way, whereas introversion correlates with acting after reflecting or acting with forethought.
He emphasized that neither way was better or more valid except as called for in a particular situation.

"..A person finding himself in a creative mode undergoes an important change in his self-perception and perception of the world. There is an opening of being, and the world is apprehended in the perspec- tive of a perceiving ego as a place where there are things to discover, to change, to realize. Viewed on the stage of this ego with its imaginings and representations, the world turns into a comprehensible and discoverable place. The creative individual co-creates the world or at least re-creates it in the realm of imagination."

“..Instead of the *degradation* ceremonial of psychiatric examination, diagnosis and prognostication, we need, for those who are ready for it (in psych- iatric terminology often those who are about to go into a schizophrenic break- down), an *initiation* ceremonial, through which the person will be guided with full social encouragement and sanction
into inner space and time, by people
who have been there and back again. Psychiatrically, this would appear as ex-patients helping future patients
to go mad."

The Politics of Experience
