Fausse attribution
Verdict
Elle ne figure pas dans l'œuvre de Carl Gustav Jung
One of the most widely circulated sayings under his name, but it does not appear in his work. It is a modern paraphrase of Aion (CW 9/II, § 126), where Jung writes that an inner situation not made conscious happens outside as fate.
