What you resist persist - Carl Yung (via bureaulamp123)
Pet peeve: people who believe in “the Secret”. The problem with focusing on only one side is that you give power to its opposite. That goes both ways. Positivity casts a shadow. It stalks the ignorant. “What you resist persists” is a quote by Carl Jung often misused by “the Secret” peddlers to support their philosophy. There can be no front without a back. The true Secret is the two, seemly opposites, are really one. When you realize they are one then you can rise above both.
Jesus said to them, “When you make the two one, and when you
make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside,
and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the
female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the
female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye,
and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and
a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter [the
Kingdom].” — From the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas
