When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.

The unconscious is not a demoniacal monster, but a natural entity which, as far as moral sense, aesthetic taste, and intellectual judgement go, is completely neutral. It only becomes dangerous when our conscious attitude to it is hopelessly wrong. To the degree that we repress it, its danger increases. But the moment the patient begins to assimilate contents that were previously unconscious, its danger diminishes. The dissociation of personality, the anxious division of the day-time and the night-time sides of the psyche, cease with progressive assimilation.

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking
