“Humility consists of knowing that in this world the whole soul, not only what we term the ego in its totality, but also the supernatural part of the soul, which is God present in it, is subject to time and to the vicissitudes of change. There must be absolutely acceptance of the possibility that everything material in us should be destroyed. But we must simultaneously accept and repudiate the possibility that the supernatural part of the soul should disappear.” WorldShouldSoulWholeTermAcceptingKnowingSubjectsPossibilityThis WorldAcceptanceHumilityMaterialsEgoDisappearDestroyedTotalityVicissitudes Author:Simone Weil

“Although I have no objection to accepting the existence of relatively constant psychic contents that survive personal ego, it must always be born in mind that we have no way of knowing what these contents are actually like "as such." All we can observe is their effect on other living people, whose spiritual level and whose personal unconscious crucially influence the way these contents actually manifest themselves.” PeopleWayMindSpiritualBornLevelsExistenceAcceptingKnowingInfluenceEffectsEgoConstantUnconsciousManifestPsychicsObjections Author:Wolfgang Pauli
“...The Western 'God-image' is a representation of the collective unconscious, an archetype of the psyche that undergoes a continual process of transformation...The God image evolves through its relationship to humanity. Whoever knows God has an effect on 'him'. For the individual, knowing God, is the process of recognizing and assimilating the pressured and paradoxical contents of the self, which come to consciousness- seek incarnation- within the ego.” KnowsSelfHumanityIndividualProcessConsciousnessKnowingEffectsEgoTransformationWesternInsightEvolveUnconsciousCollectivesRepresentationRecognizingKnowing GodIncarnationParadoxicalGod ImageArchetypePressuredCollective Unconscious Author:Carl Jung
“The body has a wisdom of its own. However, slowly and circuitously that wisdom manifests, once it is experienced it is a foundation, a basis of knowing that gives confidence to the ego. To reach its wisdom requires absolute concentration: dropping the mind into the body, breathing into whatever is ready to be released, and allowing the process of expression until the negative dammed up energy is out, making room for the positive energy, genuine Light, to flood in.” GivingMindBodyLightEnergyProcessRoomsKnowingReadyExpressionEgoNegativeBasesAbsolutesFoundationGenuineBreathingConcentrationAllowingFloodDroppingPositive Energy Author:Marion Woodman

“One of the things that is always difficult about a collaboration is that you don't necessarily find the same thing funny. And so the challenge becomes, how do you tell the other person that you don't think something's funny? The best collaborations tend to be when you are willing to be told that. But there's also ego involved, and so there's a lot of frustration in knowing that you're writing something, and the other person, on some level, needs to think that it's funny.” ThinkingNeedsWritingPersonsDifficultChallengesLevelsKnowingWillingInvolvedEgoFrustrationCollaboration Author:Michael Showalter
“When I write, I lose time. I'm happy in a way that I have a hard time finding in real life. The intimacy between my brain and my fingers and my computer...
