I love this kind of discussions. But I think it is often difficult to discuss, if those who attend have a completely different world view.

My own thinking is mainly based on the views of Carl Jung and his idea that there is a collective unconscious.

So in order to discuss this, others have to more or less accept something like a collective unconscious. Not because there is, but my thinking is mainly based on that although I have no way of proving that there is something like that.

For me at this point it makes sense, especially because of this other concept of Jung, individuation.

As I understand it, that is the process of transforming the personal and collective unconscious into consciousness.

I have more thoughts about that, but would first be curious to know what you think of Jung and his thoughts about collective consciousness.
