One of the greatest psychiatrists and psychologists that ever existed was the legendary Carl Gustav Jung.

His depth of understanding the psyche was so profound that it was almost like he could see extra layers of reality hidden from normal folk.

He spoke of a greater collective unconsciousness where we are all connected, a field that is connecting all of us.

This field was, according to him, a collective of every single human who has ever lived, it’s like the inherited greater dream we all become part of.

His ideas were profound and his teachings were brilliant. Here are the 10 greatest quotes by this legendary psychologist.

10 Greatest Quotes By Carl Jung:
