About This Quote

Think of God and not religion, of ecstasy and not mysticism. The difference between the theoretician of faith and the believer is as great as between the psychiatrist and the psychotic. This quote was written by Dr. Carl Jung, who was an influential psychologist in the twentieth century, who also had a great impact on popular culture. It is intended to remind people that one does not need to be religious in order to believe in God, but rather one needs to simply be open to God’s existence.
