Carl Jung’s Collective Unconscious, Archetypes
Abstract
Carl Jung was the illegitimate son of a poet. Jung’s emotional voyage into the psychological unknown began early in his life; he became aware of two separate aspects of his Self.
This experience drew him into the field of psychiatry, dealing with subjective phenomena. After relationship trauma, with Freud, Jung began a dangerous and painful journey into the unconscious, he communicated and named his archetypes, possible alternate personalities. This experience brought Jung to a new sense of individualization; this would be the birth of his theory that the mind consist of conscious and unconscious levels. Indentifying the potential source of the various Archetypes or emotional disorders that haunted Jung’s in his endeavors, will be the goal of this research paper.
Carl Jung’s Collective Unconscious Archetypes Jana K. Lucas, Liberty University Carl Jung was born the illegitimate son of a German poet. Jung was always, an emotional and sensitive child, (Feist & Feist, p. 99). Before the age of ten Jung began differentiating between two various aspects of his personality, which he labeled as No. 1 & No. 2. Jung believed that No. 2 was an old dead man, (reincarnation concept), (Jung, 1961, p.68) .Jung wrote that No. 1 personality, emerged more dominant and gradually repressed intuitive premonitions brought on by the dead old man, known as personality No. 1. Jung’s professional interest were in archeology, (Feist & Feist p. 100), but due to his personal psychological experiences of the unknown, his curiosity drew him more into the natural and religious sciences than that of psychology. Jung’s paternal family openly professed and practiced within the field of occult phenomenon, this intrigued Jung enough to explore those
avenues
