"Everything that happens outside has already been.
Therefore whoever considers the event from outside always sees only that it already was, and that it is always the same.
But whoever looks from inside, knows that everything is new.
The events that happen are always the same. But the creative depths of man are not always the same.
Events signify nothing, they signify only in us. We create the meaning of events. The meaning is and always was artificial. We make it. ”
Jung, The Red Book.
"“If men kill their princes, they do so because they cannot kill their Gods, and because they do not know that they should kill their Gods in themselves.
If the God grows old, he becomes shadow, nonsense, and he goes down. The greatest truth becomes the greatest lie, the brightest day becomes darkest night.
As day requires night and night requires day, so meaning requires absurdity and absurdity requires meaning. Day does not exist through itself, night does not exist through itself.”
@holon42 excellent choice. 💜
"“The reality that exists through itself is day and night. So the reality is meaning and absurdity. Noon is a moment, midnight is a moment, morning comes from night, evening turns into night, but evening comes from the day and morning turns into day. So meaning is a moment and a transition from absurdity to absurdity, and absurdity only a moment and a transition from meaning to meaning.”
