In this episode:
We discuss how we can know and express what Carl Jung calls “the unique and unrepeatable experience” that we are.

Sources for quotes and more:

1. "The whole of yourself is certainly an irrational entity, but this is just precisely yourself..." ~ C.G. Jung from 'C.G. Jung Speaking.'
2. Each person “represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again.” ~ Hermann Hesse from 'Demian.'
3. "The mystery of the psyche is that we are haunted not by what we want out of life, but by what life wants out of us." ~ D. Stephenson Bond from 'Living Myth: Personal Meaning as a Way of Life.'
4. The Three Feathers from 'Grimm's Tales.'
5. "If one doesn't understand a person one tends to regard him as a fool." ~ C.G. Jung from 'Collected Works, vol. 14.'
6. "Very often we look God-knows-where for the solution of our problem and do not see that it is right in front of our noses. We are not humble enough to look downward but stick our noses up in the air." ~ Marie-Louise von Franz from 'The Interpretation of Fairy Tales.'
7. "The quiet eminence of our being." ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel from 'Man is Not Alone.'
8. "I am not a spare part which can be exchanged. If I do not enact what I am, no one else will." ~ Raimon Panikkar from 'A Dwelling Place for Wisdom.'
