Góra i dolina

Biografia C. Jung

India: that Oriental philosophy had no answer to the problems confronted by the West. The conventional wisdom of the East stated that the world of politics, including world wars, was simply part of the realm of illusion. Jung thought that the eternal standpoint was of value only if it was reconciled with daily life in the here-and-now. He was fond of the parable of the mountain and the valley. One must ascend the mountain to see the whole picture in perspective, but one must also descend into the valley; as he repeatedly stressed, the obliteration of ego by Self was just as dangerous as vice versa. If the problem with the East was the belief that only the mountain existed, the malaise of the West was the conviction that nothing existed but the valley.
