Jung Speaks on the Mandala
I had to abandon the idea of the
superordinate position of the ego. ... I saw that
everything, all paths I had been following, all
steps I had taken, were leading back to a single
point -- namely, to the mid-point. It became
increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the
centre. It is the exponent of all paths. It is
the path to the centre, to individuation. ... I
knew that in finding the mandala as an expression
of the self I had attained what was for me the
ultimate. C. G. Jung. Memories, Dreams,
Reflections.
