C.G. Jung on Love and Power

"Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."

—C.G. Jung in the Psychology of the Unconscious, 1943

Alan Watts

"We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. This fact is rarely, if ever, experienced by most individuals. Even those who know it to be true in theory do not sense or feel it, but continue to be aware of themselves as isolated "egos" inside bags of skin."

-Alan Watts
