It is my mind, with its store of images, that gives the world color and sound; and that supremely real and rational certainty which I can experience is, in its most simple form, an exceedingly complicated structure of mental images.

Everything is mediated through the mind, translated, filtered, allegorized, twisted, even falsified by it.

Jung: The structure and dynamics of the psyche
