Carl Jung: Making the Darkness Conscious


 There is no coming to consciousness 
without pain. People will do anything, no matter 
how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul.
Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions
is a characteristic of Western theosophy, but not the 
confrontation with the Shadow and the world 
of darkness. One does not become enlightened 
by imagining figures of light, but by 
making the darkness conscious.

― Carl Jung
