Question...

How different would the world look...
If we could, with more clarity, distinguish between feelings of...
Guilt, insecurity, obligation...
Versus...
Love, curiosity, inspiration?
And what would our individual lives look like...
If we could find a way to loosen the grasp of the former...
And...
Give ourselves permission to be more in touch with and informed by the latter?

Quotes from C. G. Jung

• There is no coming to consciousness without pain.

• Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.

• Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

• Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity

Quotes from Hermann Hesse

• The true vocation of man is to find his way to himself.

• I wanted only to try to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult?

• If time is not real, then the dividing line between this world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between good and evil, is also an illusion.

• Most people are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path.

Quotes on Love from Hermann Hesse

• Love must neither beg nor demand. Love must be strong enough to find certainty within itself. It then ceases to be moved and becomes the mover.

• You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.
