Carl Jung Quote

Carl Jung's ideas should be taught to all high school students.

From "Memories, Dreams, Reflections," p.336:

"...Such experiences have a helpful or, it may be, annihilating effect upon man. He cannot grasp, comprehend, dominate them; nor can he free himself or escape from them, and therefore feels them as overpowering. Recognizing that they do not spring from his conscious personality, he calls them mana, daimon, or God. Science employs the term "unconscious," thus admiting that it knows nothing about it, for it can know nothing about the substance of the psyche when the sole means of knowing anything is the psyche. Therefore the validity of terms such as mana, daimon, or God can neither be disproved nor affirmed. We can, however, establish that the sense of strangeness connected with the experience of something objective, apparently outside of the psyche, is indeed authentic." - Carl Jung
