Thanks, cryptopsycho21
Yeah, I agree Jung was the man when it came to exploring the psyche through dreams and altered states of consciousness... and I don't mean just drugs when I say that 😂
Jung was a big meditator, which is the one thing I've taken to heart from any religion. The rest is just politics, but if (like Jung) you can find the archetypes that drive your unconscious behaviours, I've found that is when I can create personal mythologies.... which are an essential tool for a fiction writer.
Anyway, thanks for your comment 🙂
I also like Jung’s ability and interest in the supernatural and it’s effects on us. I believe this was one of the issues that led to the break away from Freud. !PIZZA. !ALIVE

I most definitely agree. IMO, Jung was much more in touch with the unfathomable side of the subconscious; the part of our brains that create nostalgia, or recognises a place upon visiting it that we've never been to before. This idea of a 'collective unconscious' unsettled Freud I think, and I always thought that Freud was basically applying techniques - that did help many people - but based on his own neurosis. It just so happened that many people have similar neurosis as Freud 😂
I think of Jung as half mystic half psychologist, and I think Jungian ideas and philosophies provide a much better path to the infinite, to the dissolution of the ego's control.
