new Jung quote added to library by me...

Posted on Feb 9th, 2008 by GeeSamBee : Psyche's Cornerman GeeSamBee
It is a condition of the modern psyche that the ego assumes itself to be the centre of the psyche–unconsciously inflating itself and understanding itself to the creator of its own being. This is achieved by removed our experience from its dynamic archetypal, instinctual and emotional basis. As Jung writes: "The archetype is increasingly detached from its dynamic background and gradually truned into a purely intellectual formula. In this way it is neutralized, and you can then say 'one can live with it quite well.'" Letters vol. 2, 259 Carl Gustav Jung : Swiss psychiatrist, student of Freud & founder analytic psychology
