Some Carl Jung Quotes What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? Herein lies the key to your earthly pursuits. Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. Everything that irritates us about others can lead to an understanding of ourselves. Emotion is the chief source of all becoming-conscious. There can be no transforming of darkness into light and apathy into movement without emotion. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of being. Carl Jung said that the Shadow is the person that we’d rather not be.” He explains that the Shadow is the side of our personality which we do not consciously display in public. It may have positive or negative qualities. If it remains unconscious, the Shadow is often projected onto other individuals or groups. Anything that we judge in others is often a hidden part of our self that we deny or of which we are ashamed.
