“In the last analysis, the essential thing is the life of the individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from this hidden sources in individuals. In our most private and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, and its sufferers, but also its makers. We make our own epoch. ”

“He (Jung) is a whole new species. But we know from history that when an individual carrying major new consciouness arrives on the scene, that often inaugurates a new epoch. The two examples that I’m thinking of particurlarly, are the examples of Christ and Buddha. I believe that Jung’s belong to that order of individual, you see that when a new major level of consciousness emerges, then it has to have some huge collective effect that it may take several hundred years to bring into visibility, but that will eventually be seen for what it is, and that’s how I see Jung.”
