Quote by Carl Jung: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

This means that without understanding our hidden motivations and fears, we remain subject to them, mistakenly believing external forces control our destiny. True freedom and agency come from deep self-awareness and introspection.

As existentialist philosophies gained traction, questioning individual agency and destiny, Jung's ideas offered a psychological lens, suggesting that internal, unconscious forces heavily influence perceived external fate.
