relevant Jung quote

"Thunder is no longer the voice of an angry god, nor is lightning his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no tree is the life principle of a man, no snake the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave the home of a great demon. No voices now speak to man from stones, plants and animals, nor does he speak to them believing they can hear. His contact with nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that his symbolic connection supplied." -Carl Jung.
I have been on the whole theme of imagination, perspective and its direct influence on happiness and reality this whole summer. Here is a Jung quote that I read at the end of June that applies.
