"Our times have demonstrated what it means when the gates of the psychic underworld are thrown open. Things whose enormity nobody could have imagined in the idyllic innocence of the first decade of our century have happened & have turned the world upside down." ~C.G. Jung, CW 18
"Ever since, the world has remained in a state of schizophrenia. … No wonder the Western world feels uneasy, for it does not know how much it plays into the hands of the uproarious underworld and what it has lost through the destruction of its numinosities." ~C.G. Jung, CW 18
"It has lost its moral and spiritual values to a very dangerous degree. Its moral and spiritual tradition has collapsed, and has left a worldwide disorientation and dissociation." ~C.G. Jung, CW 18, par. 581
"We could have seen long ago from primitive societies what the loss of numinosity means: they lose their raison d'être, the order of their social organizations, and then they dissolve and decay. We are now in the same condition." ~C.G. Jung, CW 18, par. 582
"We have lost something we have never properly understood. Our spiritual leaders cannot be spared the blame for having been more interested in protecting their institutions than in understanding the mystery that symbols present." ~C.G. Jung, CW 18, par. 582
"#Faith does not exclude thought (which is man's strongest weapon), but unfortunately many believers are so afraid of #science, and also of #psychology, that they turn a blind eye to the numinous psychic powers that forever control man's fate." ~C.G. Jung, CW 18, par. 582
"We have stripped all things of their mystery and numinosity; nothing is holy any longer." ~C.G. Jung, "Healing the Split," CW 18, par. 582
