Quote of the Day

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”

• Carl Jung

Among the central concepts of analytical psychology is individuation—the lifelong psychological process of differentiation of the self out of each individual's conscious and unconscious elements. Jung considered it to be the main task of human development. He created some of the best known psychological concepts, including synchronicity, archetypal phenomena, the collective unconscious, the psychological complex and extraversion and introversion.
