As you see the world, so you see yourself.

What it means

Your picture of the world and your picture of yourself are one picture. A suspicious view of others usually goes with a hidden fear about yourself. Getting either one right takes honest work.

The source

"As you see the world, so you see yourself." Carl Jung said it in Contributions to Analytical Psychology (1928), 'Analytical Psychology and Weltanschauung' (1927). Translated by H. G. and C. F. Baynes, 1928.

"Because to see the world, also means seeing yourself, and therefore as you see the world, so you see yourself, and this demands much in labour and sincerity."

Who said it

Carl Jung (1875–1961). Swiss psychiatrist who broke with Freud and founded analytical psychology. He mapped the persona, the shadow, the collective unconscious and the lifelong work of becoming yourself, which he called individuation. Our lines come only from his writings published before 1931, in our own translations from the German or in English translations of the time.
