Have you counted the murderers among the scholars? ~Carl Jung

Scholar and his books by Gerbrand van den Eeckhout

The spirit of our time spoke to me and said: “What dire urgency could be forcing you to speak all this?”

This was an awful temptation. I wanted to ponder what inner or outer bind could force me into this, and because I found nothing that I could grasp, I was near to making one up.

But with this the spirit of our time had almost brought it about that instead of speaking, I was thinking again about reasons and explanations.

But the spirit of the depths spoke to me and said: “To understand a thing is a bridge and possibility of returning to the path. But to explain a matter is arbitrary and sometimes even murder. Have you counted the murderers among the scholars?” ~Carl Jung, Red Book, Page 230.
