And suddenly to your shivering horror it becomes clear to you that you have fallen into the boundless, the abyss, the inanity of eternal chaos. It rushes toward you as if carried by the roaring wings of a storm, the hurtling waves of the sea. - LS, p. 103 #CGJung

It becomes ever more apparent that nothing leads, as my hope sought to persuade me, but that everything misleads. - LS, p. 103 #CGJung

But one thing becomes dreadfully clear, namely that contrary to my earlier way and all its insights and intentions, henceforth all is error. - LS, p. 103 #CGJung

No line emerges, no law appears; instead everything is thoroughly and convincingly accidental, as a matter of fact even terribly accidental. - LS, p. 103 #CGJung

I can no longer say that this or that goal should be reached, or that this or that reason should apply because it is good; instead I grope through mist and night. - LS, p. 103 #CGJung

At this point things grow dark and there is no end in sight. - LS, p. 102 #CGJung

The problem of madness is profound. Divine madness--a higher form of the irrationality of the life streaming through us--at any rate a madness that cannot be integrated into present-day society--but how? What if the form of society were integrated into madness? - LS, p. 102 #CGJung

So, we are obviously heading for the madhouse. That is a high price to pay. But one can go this way too, it seems. It's not so strange, since thousands of our fellows take that path. - LS, p. 102 #CGJung

"It seems to me that we forgot something important that should also have been lived." - LS, p. 101 #CGJung

"We cannot stop, but must make a pilgrimage to all the holy places." - LS, p. 101 #CGJung

I hear an odd swishing and whirring--and suddenly a roaring sound fills the room like a horde of large birds--with a frenzied flapping of wings--I see many shadowlike human forms rush past and I hear a manifold babble of voices utter the words: "Let us pray in the temple!" - LS, p. 101 #CGJung

I believe one can also follow one's own nose. That would also be the intuitive method. - LS, p. 101 #CGJung

Only my other leads me beyond myself. But acceptance of the other means a descent into the opposite, from seriousness into the laughable, from suffering into the cheerful, from the beautiful into the ugly, from the pure into the impure. - LS, p.99 #CGJung

The true way does not lead upward, but toward the depths. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

What thinking cannot solve, life solves. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

When thinking leads to the unthinkable, it is time to return to simple life. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

What I could not conjoin in my mind probably lends itself to living one after the other. And so I decided to cross over into lower and everyday life, my life, and to begin down there, where I stood. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

If I thus truly imitate Christ, I do not imitate anyone, I emulate no one, but go my own way, and I will also no longer call myself a Christian. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

You can certainly leave Christianity but it does not leave you. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

The divine wants to live with me. My resistance is in vain. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung
