“It is through the “affect” that the subject becomes involved and so comes to feel the whole weight of reality. The difference amounts roughly to that between a severe illness which one reads about in a textbook and the real illness which one has. In psychology, one possesses nothing unless one has experienced it in reality. Hence purely intellectual insight is not enough, because one knows only the words and not the substance of the thing from inside.“ Aion, CJ Jung
