What You Resist Persists – Jung
What you resist persists
By Carl Gustav Jung : Swiss psychiatrist, student of Freud & founder analytic psychology – (1875 – 1961)
This quote is interesting, some claim it relates to the ‘law of attraction’ that if you think of something a lot you will get it, in other words if you obsess about something bad it will happen to you and if you think of something good it would also come to you. Some in the new age movement relate this quote to quantum physics, while others say that Jung’s quote has been miss interpreted by these people.
I am not sure what Jung meant by this quote. To know, I would have to find the whole text and read this quote in context.
It may be that he meant that, say in the case of a young girl who’s parents did not want her with a certain boy, the more the parents try to part them the stronger their bond gets…
What do you think Jung meant?
