The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.
CARL JUNG, The Meaning of Psychology for Modern Man
Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

Yoga in Mayfair or Fifth Avenue, or in any other place which is on the telephone, is a spiritual fake.
CARL JUNG, Collected Works, vol. 11
Nothing is more repulsive than a furtively prurient spirituality; it is just as unsavory as gross sensuality.
