I am not more gifted than the average human being. If you know anything about history, you would know that is so--what hard times I had in studying and the fact that I do not have a memory like some other people do… I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up on a problem until I have found the proper solution. This is one of my greatest satisfactions in life--solving problems--and the harder they are, the more satisfaction do I get out of them. Maybe you could consider me a bit more patient in continuing with my problem than is the average human being. Now, if you understand what I have just told you, you see that it is not a matter of being more gifted but a matter of being more curious and maybe more patient until you solve a problem.

Adults gifted with perceptivity are those who can hear the flowers singing within others not yet aware of their own gifts… [They are able to] understand the meaning of personal symbols and to see beyond the superficiality of a situation to the person beneath... People who are gifted at "seeing" often seem to have a touch of magic about them... Jane Austen, Langston Hughes, Anne Hutchinson, William Shakespeare, and Henry David Thoreau are all examples.

Inspirational Quotes on: Carl Jung, Understand

Every three or four years I pick a new subject. It may be Japanese art; it may be economics. Three years of study are by no means enough to master a subject but they are enough to understand it. SO for more than 60 years I have kept studying one subject at a time.

The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one's own ignorance concerning one's self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one's self.

I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least… | I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then, | In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass; | I find letters from God dropt in he street, and every one is signed by God's name, | And I leave them where they are, for I know | that whereso'er I go | Others will punctually come forever and ever.

The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one’s own ignorance concerning one’s self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one’s self.
