Occult History

The Gigantic catastrophes that threaten us today are not elemental happenings of a physical or biological order , but psychic events. To a quite terrifying degree we are threatened by wars and revelutions which are nothing other than psychic epidemics. At any moment several millions of human beings may be smitten with new madness , and then we shall have another world war or devastating revolution. Instead of being at the mercy of wild beasts , earthquakes , landslides and inundations , modern man is battered by the elemental forces of his own psyche

- Carl Gustav Jung
