In 1959, Jung was asked by host John Freeman on the BBC interview program Face to Face whether he believed in God, to which Jung answered, "I do not need to believe. I know."
So many beautiful quotes from Jung on Nature I had not seen before.
I echo his thoughts completely. People think I'm joking when I say I grew up in a mimosa tree - but I'm not. Spent as much of my childhood in that tree that my parents would allow. And some of my closest friends are in fact trees.
We are in and of that same essence or spirit found in nature and the planet itself.
It's always the obvious we easily miss and of course we've been steered away from Nature intentionally. Thank you for this lovely post.
Thank you, Kathleen, it is my pleasure. What a beautiful story, how magical to have tree friends and family! I made a video on my Spiral Leaf channel, the Wisdom of Trees with choral music and lots of Treebeard quotes and love trees beyond measure. Like Jung, I remember the feeling when my darling Mum took me to the park in my pram to walk under the trees, she said it always sent me off to sleep and I know it marked the beginning of my Nature journey. Trees are magnificent as all wild things are. It is lovely to meet you and sending much love. 💚🌳💚
Forgot to say, our Mom's knew, didn't they? Their wisdom was innate and timeless, they were tuned into what they knew was right. I thank my Mum everyday for my love for Nature, and my Dad, he made me appreciate the beauty in all living things. 🕊️🧚♀️💖
That's great!I know it will resonate with you. I am reading your recent post, it's so beautiful, the wisest advice for 2024. I will be sharing your words and look forward to reading more. 💚🌳💚
Thank you for this reminder that we are part of nature, Sue. I checked out the map views of Jung's Tower. It is in a beautiful spot at the far end of the lake that connects with Zurich.
My pleasure, Antila., thank you. It is written and we have much to draw from in terms of understanding why Nature is so important and such an integral part of our lives.
I found another quote from Jung about his Tower which speaks of the joy of being able to immerse yourself completely into the beauty of the natural world: 'At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the plashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons.'
TYVM for sharing, Sue.

You are more than welcome! What a wonderful answer and absolutely spot on, 'to believe is to not know' as my dearest Dad used to say.

I will definitely check out that video!
And funny, my mom told me, she's put me under a tree in our yard, cause it's the only place I slept well for naps.
Thank, you, Sue. Sending love back.💝

Yes, they definitely did!! And I'm very grateful for that, too. We were so fortunate. ❤️
