Carl Jung on the “Human Body” – Anthology: If we seek our connection with the snake we come to the spinal cord and that points to the animal soul of man which leads him down into the darkness of the body, into the instinct which one meets in animal form in the outer world. Carl Jung, ETH Lecture 8March1935, Pages 199-200.
The ancestral part is given to us by our body, we take over the life of our ancestors in that way. It is the ter- race of life because it is here that life renews itself. Carl Jung, ETH Lecture 12July1935, Pages 240.
The age of the body is something we often swindle ourselves about, but this swindle does not help the psy- che. Carl Jung, ETH Lecture IV 24 May 1935, Pages 213.

Carl Jung, ETH Lecture 20Jan1939, Page 62.
