Everything that happens, happens in the same one world.
The causalism that underlies our scientific picture of the w0rld breaks everything down into individual processes which it punctiliously tries to isolate from all other parallel processes.
This tendency is absolutely necessary if we are to gain a reliable knowledge of the world; but philosophically it has the disadvantage of breaking up, or obscuring, the universal interrelationship of events so that a recognition of the greater relationship, i.e., the unity of the world, becomes more and more difficult.
Everything that happens, however, happens in the same “one w0rld” and is part of it.
For this reason events must have an a priori aspect of unity. ~Carl Jung, Mysterium Coniunctionis, Para 663
Carl Jung on Inner World – Anthology
The w0rld of the inner is as infinite as the world of the outer. Just as you become a part of the manifold essence of the w0rld through your bodies, so you become a part of the manifold essence of the inner world through your soul. This inner w-rld is truly infinite, in no way poorer than the outer one. Man lives in two w0rlds. ~Carl Jung, The Red Book, Page 264.
A religious life presupposes a conscious connection of the inner and outer w0rlds and it requires a constant, meticulous attention to all circumstances to the best of our knowledge and our conscience. We must watch what the gods ordain for us in the outer w0rld, but as well as waiting for developments in the outer w0rld we must listen to the inner world; both w0rlds are expressions of God. ~Carl Jung, Conversations with C.G. Jung, Page 36.
When the woman experiences the mystery of creativeness in herself, in her own inner world, she is doing the right thing and then no longer demands it from the outside — from her husband, her son, or anyone else close to her. . ~Carl Jung, Conversations with C.G. Jung, Page 29.
Man is not a machine in the sense that he can consistently maintain the same output of work. He can meet the demands of outer necessity in an ideal way only if he is also adapted to his own inner world, that is, if he is in harmony with himself. Conversely, he can only adapt to his inner world and achieve harmony with himself when he is adapted to the environmental conditions. ~Carl Jung; “On Psychic Energy,” CW 8; par. 75.
This is old age, and a limitation. Yet there is so much that fills me: plants, animals, clouds, day and night, and the eternal in man. The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more there has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things. In fact it seems to me as if that alienation which so long separated me from the world has become transferred into my own inner world, and has revealed to me an unexpected unfamiliarity with myself. ~Carl Jung; Memories, Dreams and Reflections; Page 359.
I should like to stress the fact that intense withdrawal from outer reality brings about an animation of the inner w0rld which calls forth these phenomena. ~Carl Jung, ETH Lecture IX,15Dec1933, Page 39.
Conversely, he can only adapt to his inner w0rld and achieve harmony with himself when he is adapted to the environmental conditions. ~Carl Jung, “On Psychic Energy,” par. 75.
We must watch what the gods ordain for us in the outer w0rld, but as well as waiting for developments in the outer world we must listen to the inner w0rld; both worlds are expressions of God. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Ostrowski, Page 39.
In the second half of life one should begin to get acquainted with the inner w0rld. That is a general problem. ~Carl Jung, Letters Vol. II, Page 402.
The religious interest, which ought normally to be the greatest and most decisive factor, turned away from the inner w0rld, and great figures of dogma dwindled to strange and incomprehensible vestiges, a prey to every sort of criticism. ~Carl Jung, CW 5, Para 113.
