Let go of what wants to fall — if you cling to it, it will pull you down.

"Spirituality and sexuality are not your qualities, not things you possess and encompass. Rather, they possess and encompass you, since they are powerful daimons, manifestations of the gods, and hence, reach beyond you, existing in themselves."

-Carl Jung

Düşünmek zordur, bu yüzden çoğu insan yargılar.

This paragraph from Carl Jung hits very hard.

The world is full of people suffering from the effects of unlived lives. They become ruthless, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner potential. The artist who doesn’t make art is cynical toward those who do. The lover who doesn’t love without taking risks ridicules romanticism. The thinker who doesn’t adhere to any philosophy even scorns the concept of faith itself. And yet, they all suffer, because deep down they know: the life they ridicule is the life they should be living.

“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.” - Carl Jung

Carl Jung, founder of analytical psychology and father of depth psychology, said that Catholics do not need therapy, but confession and communion.

The psychologist argued that Catholics did not require psychotherapy, as the sacramental confession and the sacraments of the Catholic Church fulfilled that role.

In his work The Practice of Psychotherapy, Jung stated clearly:

“In the treatment of Catholics, I always refer them to the confessional of the Church and to its means of grace.”

He observed that, in over 40 years of practice, he had only about 6 practicing Catholics as patients. According to Jung, this was because confession allowed for the effective release of guilt and internal conflicts, making analysis unnecessary in most cases.

Jung also emphasized the psychological value of the Mass and the Eucharist, describing it as one of the most complete experiences for the transformation of the soul.

When treating Catholics with emotional problems, Jung considered it his duty to guide them back to the practice of confession and to the sacramental life of the Church, rather than keeping them in prolonged treatment.

“Whoever speaks in primordial images speaks with a thousand voices; he enthrals and overpowers...he transmutes our personal destiny into the destiny of mankind, and evokes in us all those beneficent forces that ever and anon have enabled humanity to find refuge from every peril and to outlive the longest night.”

― C.G. Jung, The Red Book: Liber Novus
