"Most of us really 'know' what is right for us, though we may be frightened or intimidated to know what we already know." ~James Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, The Broken Mirror, p. 174 (1/4)
"As Jung put it, 'Most of my patients knew the deeper truth, but did not live it. And why did they not live it? Because of that bias which makes us all live from the ego, a bias which comes from overvaluation of the conscious mind. [CW 16, par. 108]'" ~James Hollis, Ph.D. (2/4)
"And by 'conscious mind,' generally Jung means the mind that is so frequently occupied by the #complex triggered in that moment. So, seldom are we 'in our right mind.'" ~James Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, The Broken Mirror, p. 174 (3/4)
"Most of the time we are subsumed by, and serving, the invisible text of a 'message,' which means we serve the received authority rather than our own deepest promptings." ~James Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, The Broken Mirror, pp. 174-175 (4/4)

The definition of projection from C.G. Jung Lexicon: A Primer of Terms & Concepts by Jungian analyst Daryl Sharp (Inner City Books, 1991):

"An automatic process whereby contents of one's own unconscious are perceived to be in others." twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Jung: "Just as we tend to assume that the world is as we see it, we naïvely suppose that people are as we imagine them to be. … All the contents of our #unconscious are constantly being #projected into our surroundings, and it is only by recognizing certain properties of the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
"The subject gets rid of painful, incompatible contents by #projecting them." ~C.G. Jung, "Definitions," CW 6, par. 783

As promised, continuing to tweet all of Chapter 11 of Why Good People Do Bad Things by Jungian analyst James Hollis, Ph.D. "Toward the possible prospect of ceasing to blame others & owning our part in this general messiness we call our life, I offer to the reader the following…
…questions designed to stir the archaic materials within each of us, invite reflection for those brave enough to withdraw projections, and occasion the expansion of consciousness that makes true freedom, and true choice, more possible." ~James Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst
"Before we begin, we must recall an old Near Eastern story of a man looking frantically under the arc of light cast by a lamppost. When he was asked by a passerby what he was looking for, he replied, 'I am looking for the keys to my house.'" ~James Hollis, Jungian analyst (1/3)

"When the Greeks fell in #love they were modest enough not to say, 'I have fallen in love,' but expressed it more accurately by saying: 'The god of love shot an arrow at me.'" ~Marie-Louise von Franz, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, Alchemy: An Introduction, p. 118 (1/4)
"And that is how it really happens—one suddenly has the painful sting which one has not made oneself, one finds oneself being shot at. So one can therefore speak of the archetype of the god of #love." ~Marie-Louise von Franz, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, Alchemy, p. 118 (2/4)
"If you go into the history of #Eros you will find that he is a variation of #Hermes; the Eros of antiquity is similar to Hermes Kyllenios. In olden times when he was a fertility god of Boetia he was represented exactly like the priapic Hermes statues" ~Marie-Louise von Franz 3/4

"What we may learn from the models of the past is above all this: that the psyche harbours contents, or is exposed to influences, the assimilation of which is attended by the greatest dangers." ~C.G. Jung, Psychology & Alchemy, CW 12, par. 564
"If the old alchemists ascribed their secret to matter, and if neither Faust nor Zarathustra is a very encouraging example of what happens when we embody this secret in ourselves…
"…then the only course left to us is to repudiate the arrogant claim of the conscious mind to be the whole of the psyche, and to admit that the psyche is a reality which we cannot grasp with our present means of understanding." ~C.G. Jung, Psychology & Alchemy, CW 12, par. 564

NEXT SATURDAY: The Jung Society of Washington presents their annual celebration of the birthday 🎂 of C.G. Jung with a FREE ZOOM LECTURE by Jungian analyst @MurrayWSteinII – Dante's Divine Comedy: An Individuation Journey Through Realms of #Shadow to the Mystery of Transformation
This year, 2021, marks the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri's death. Only several months before his death he completed The Divine Comedy, an account of psychological and spiritual development in the second half of life using a method that today we call active imagination.
"C.G. Jung, in his late masterpiece, Mysterium Coniunctionis, helps us to understand this process as a journey to individuation. He speaks of 3 advanced stages in the individuation process and offers the lens through which I will view Dante's Divine Comedy." ~Murray Stein, Ph.D.

"Over time, Jung concluded that there was within each of us a deep resilience guided by some locus of knowing, independent of #ego consciousness; a center that produces our dreams to correct us, symptoms to challenge us, and visions to inspire us." ~James Hollis, Jungian analyst
"[Jung's] was not an amateur's trust in impulse or a captivation by psychological complex; it was a long, patient, humbling attendance upon the psyche, or #soul, and its perspicacious permutations." ~James Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, Living Between Worlds, p. 17
"All of Jung's intense exploration occurred in the context of cultural ferment & dislocation. While he was most intensely engaged in an investigation of the inner terrain of the human #soul, most of Europe was engaged in a vast bloodletting, the consequences of which we are…
