Carl Gustav Jung
b. July 26, 1875 // d. June 6, 1961 (85 y)
What I formerly loved I must now experience as feeble and wasted, and what I formerly derided I had to envy as towering and helplessly crave. I accepted the absurdity of this adventure. No sooner had this happened than I also saw how the maiden transformed herself and signified an autonomous meaning. One inquires into the desire of the ridiculous, and that is enough for it to change. Carl G. Jung, The Red Book

how I would use these notes if I were not myself, so I if I were you, what I would do
-would NOT let the extensive interesting bites of pieces of the delicious pie stop me from eventually reading the works in their entirety. especially the red book. there is far too much knowledge embedded in that masterpiece to even begin to illustrate with a list of quotes. it’s a whole journey
