The least differentiated function is always the one from which our renewal starts; it is just the one that yields the renewal of life; when a person has used up his conscious point of view, he capsizes; the thing which never has lived is as green and as fresh as spring-it means a complete reversal of the whole personality. ~ C. G. Jung, Emma Jung and Toni Wolff - A Collection of Remembrances; Pages 51-70.

Children are in the collective unconscious until they acquire a small consciousness of their personality, until they say "I," or "me," or their name.

Then after a pause, Miss Wolff added this: "You know, sometimes if a man's wife is big enough to leap over the hurdle of self-pity, she may find that her supposed rival has even helped her marriage! This 'other woman' can sometimes help a man live out certain aspects of himself that his wife either can't fulfill, or else doesn't especially want to.

G. Jung, Emma Jung and Toni Wolff - A Collection of Remembrances, Pages 47-51

Jung, Emma Jung and Toni Wolff - A Collection of Remembrances; Pages 36-39.
There, that's the error, one must not seek happiness. The happiness that one seeks is a usurped one.
