Why did you want to comprehend the darkness? But you had to or else it would have seized you. Happy the man who anticipates this grasp. - LS, p. 30 #CGJung

When I comprehended my darkness, a truly magnificent night came over me and my dream plunged me into the depths of the millennia, and from it my phoenix ascended. - LS, p. 30 #CGJung

We have seized the darkness and its sun will shine above us, bloody and burning like a great downfall. - LS, p. 30 #CGJung

I went out to embrace the future. The path was wide and what was to come was awful. It was the enormous dying, a sea of blood. From it the new sun arose, awful and a reversal of that which we call day. - LS, p. 30 #CGJung

I follow the stream that makes its way into the depths, slowly and unperturbed, into the depths of what is to come. - LS, p. 30 #CGJung

I look around me, I am all alone. Night has fallen. - LS, p. 30 #CGJung

Night is the time of silence. - LS, p. 30 #CGJung

If you change, the countenance of the world alters. - LS, p. 28 #CGJung

The stars whisper your deepest mysteries to you, and the soft valleys of the earth rescue you in a motherly womb. - LS, p. 27 #CGJung

Nothing in you is hidden to things, no matter how remote, how precious, how secret it is. It inheres in things. Your dog robs you of your father, who passed away long ago, and looks at you as he did. The cow in the meadow has intuited your mother, and charms you with total calm and security. - LS, p. 27 #CGJung

Nothing happens in which you are not entangled in a secret manner; for everything has ordered itself around you and plays your innermost. - LS, p. 27 #CGJung

But if you watch closely, you will see what you have never seen before, namely that things live your life, and that they live off you. - LS, p. 27 #CGJung

I do not know what I speak, I speak in a dream. Support me for I stagger, drunk with fire. I drank fire in this night, since I climbed down through the centuries and plunged into the sun far at the bottom. And I rose up drunk from the sun, with a burning countenance and my head is ablaze. - LS, p. 26 #CGJung

Give me your hand, a human hand, so that you can hold me to the earth with it, for whirling veins of fire swoop me up, and exultant longing tears me toward the zenith. - LS, p. 26 #CGJung

He who comprehends the darkness in himself, to him the light is near. - LS, p. 26 #CGJung

He who sleeps in the grave of the millennia dreams a wonderful dream. He dreams a primordially ancient dream. He dreams of the rising sun. - LS, p. 26 #CGJung

Am I dreaming or am I awake? - LS, p. 24 #CGJung
