Carl Jung: What is the Collective Unconscious?

The Living Philosophy

Nov 14 2021 • 12 mins

Carl Jung's Collective Unconscious is his biggest and most commonly misunderstood concept. The Collective Unconscious Jung tells us goes deeper than the Personal Unconscious in which we find our own personal experiences. The Collective Unconscious is the common layer of the mind in which the instincts of humanity exist and at certain times in our life bubble up into consciousness. This is the realm of the archetypes and the layer of the mind where myths gods and religions draw their source from. In this episode we explore the Carl Jung Collective Unconscious and what it means in the scope of the psyche. We will also be looking at the difference between the personal and collective unconscious and at the contents of the collective unconscious.
