Carl Jung - The Individual, the Religious, and the Transcendent (1960 conversation)

"You always have to have something that is good for thousands, for a million, but not only for the individual person, he is too uninteresting! We are too convinced by science how futile a human life is! (.. .) And the individual is so convinced of his nothingness, that he doesn't bother to somehow get somewhere with himself, to somehow develop inwardly... - It's too hopeless: The individual is nothing! And of course, that is a wrong notion, that the individual is nothing: the individual is the vessel of life!" Carl Jung in this conversation
Georg Gerster interviewed the great Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) on June 7, 1960 in Küsnacht for Swiss radio. Jung did not consent to being interviewed by anyone other than Gerster. Sixteen years later, Gerster recalled in a letter: “Dr. Jung refused to give a specific topic for our interview, so I had to go there unprepared." The interview was first broadcast on July 3, 1960 and several times until Jung's 85th birthday on July 26, 1960. It was repeated on June 6, 1966 in memory of Jung's death (on June 6, 1961).
