“Not only do I leave the door open for the Christian message, but I consider it of central importance for Western man.”

Memories, Dreams, Reflections (1963)
Context: It is only natural that I should constantly have revolved in my mind the question of the relationship of the symbolism of the unconscious to Christianity as well as to other religions. Not only do I leave the door open for the Christian message, but I consider it of central importance for Western man. It needs, however, to be seen in a new light, in accordance with the changes wrought by the contemporary spirit.
