Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit
Stephen Black: "Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit" is a Latin translation of the Greek oracle, and, translated into English, it might read, "Invoked or not invoked the god will be present," and in many ways this expresses the philosophy of Carl Jung. I am sitting now in a room in his house at Kusnacht, near Zurich, in Switzerland. And as I came in through the front door, I read this Latin translation of the Greek, carved in stone over the door. For this house was built by Professor Jung. How many years ago, Professor Jung?
Carl Gustav Jung: Oh, almost fifty years ago.
Stephen Black: Why did you choose to put this over your front door?
Carl Gustav Jung: Because I wanted to express the fact that I always feel unsafe, as if I'm in the presence of superior possibilities.
