C.G. Jung, from The Red Book: Liber Novus
Text ID: He whose desire turns away from outer things, reaches the place of the soul. If he does not find the soul, the horror of emptiness will overcome him, and fear will drive him with a whip lashing time and again in a desperate endeavor and a blind desire for the hollow things of the world. He becomes a fool through his endless desire, and forgets the way of his soul, never to find her again. He will run after all things, and will seize hold of them, but he will not find his soul, since he would find her only in himself.
Lucy Willis, 1954, Cats, 1988, etching on paper.
" Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. "
