what we talk about when we talk about taste
You come to see, as Julie has, that thought, our primary method for understanding life, is really our way of walling ourselves off from it. We translate the world into our artificial language of symbols and concepts in order to avoid knowing it directly.
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart . . . Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” —Carl Jung
The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.
– Carl Jung
Remember that whatever is pushed into the unconscious gathers force. We can’t cut off our instinctual needs and float above them without having some kind of counterbalance periodically erupt out of our personal underworld.
