The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious (Collected Works of C.G. Jung Vol.9 Part 1)

“In such cases it is easy to see how the severe pattern imposed by a circular image of this kind compensates the disorder of the psychic state– namely through a the construction of a central point to which everything is related, or by a concentric arrangement of the disordered multiplicity of contradictory and irreconcilable elements.

This is evidently an attempt at self-healing on the part of Nature, which does not spring from conscious reflection but from an instinctive impulse.” ~Carl Jung, Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious. Page 388.
