Individuation Quotes

• Los sujetos que se reconocen recíprocamente como tales, deben considerarse mutuamente como idénticos, en la medida en que ambos asumen la posición de sujeto; deben en todo momento subsumirse a sí mismos y al otro bajo la misma categoría. Al mismo tiempo, la relación de reciprocidad de reconocimiento exige la no identidad de uno y otro, ambos deben mantener también su diferencia absoluta, pues ser sujeto implica la pretensión de individuación.

• El acto de conciencia es central; de lo contrario, nos invaden los complejos.
  El héroe que hay en cada uno de nosotros debe responder a la llamada de la individuación.
  Debemos apartarnos de la cacofonía del mundo exterior para escuchar la voz interior.
  Cuando nos atrevemos a vivir sus impulsos, alcanzamos la individualidad.
  Puede que nos convirtamos en extraños para quienes creían conocernos, pero al menos ya no somos extraños para nosotros mismos.

• I saw that everything, all paths I had been following, all steps I had taken, were leading back to a single point - namely, to the mid-point. It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation. I knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self I had attained what was for me the ultimate.

• The difference between the "natural" individuation process, which runs its course unconsciously, and the one that is consciously realized is tremendous. In the first case, consciousness nowhere intervenes; the end remains as dark as the beginning. In the second case, so much darkness comes to light that the personality is permeated with light and consciousness necessarily gains in scope and insight. The encounter between conscious and unconscious has to ensure that the light that shines in the darkness is not only comprehended by the darkness, but comprehends it.

• It looks as if there were a single ultimate goal for mankind, a far goal toward which all persons strive. This is called variously by different authors self-actualization, self-realization, integration, psychological health, individuation, autonomy, creativity, productivity, but they all agree that this amounts to realizing the potentialities of the person, that is to say, becoming fully human, everything that person can be.

• No basta con retirarse de la sociedad y buscar su propia salvación, su propia individuación. El individuador debe volver a la sociedad ("colectividad") para aportar sus nuevas percepciones, sus nuevos valores, que deben ser al menos iguales, si no superiores, a la norma.

• I hold the view that the alchemist’s hope of conjuring out of matter the philosophical gold, or the panacea, or the wonderful stone, was only in part an illusion, an effect of projection; for the rest it corresponded to certain psychic facts that are of great importance in the psychology of the unconscious. As is shown by the texts and their symbolism, the alchemist projected what I have called the process of individuation into the phenomena of chemical change.

• ¿Cómo podemos conocernos a nosotros mismos? . . . El alma necesita una conexión íntima, no sólo para individuarse, sino simplemente para vivir. Para ello necesitamos relaciones del tipo más profundo a través de las cuales podamos realizarnos, donde la autorrevelación sea posible, donde el interés y el amor por el alma sean primordiales.

• we all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. We respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.

• Self-reflection, or - what comes to the same thing - the urge to individuation, gathers together what is scattered and multifarious and exalts it to the original of the One, the Primordial Man. In this way our existence as separate beings, our former ego nature, is abolished, the circle of consciousness is widened, and because the paradoxes have been made conscious, the sources of conflict are dried up.

• Socialism, whether it's the 'soft tyranny' of the EuroAmerican management state or the murderously repressive forms taken by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot, is all about disindividuation, a steady, relentless erasure of the individual differences among us, everything that makes us who we are. 'Everybody in, nobody out!' is the marching mantra of militant collectivized medicine, but it accurately describes all other aspects of collectivism as well. No alternatives allowed, no choices, no individualism, no individuality, and ultimately, no individuation.

• Central to Jungian psychology is the concept of "individuation," the process whereby a person discovers and evolves his Self, as opposed to his ego. The ego is a persona, a mask created and demanded by everyday social interaction, and, as such, it constitutes the center of our conscious life, our understanding of ourselves through the eyes of others. The Self, on the other hand, is our true center, our awareness of ourselves without outside interference, and it is developed by bringing the conscious and unconscious parts of our minds into harmony.
