- Archetypes
- Persona
- What we show the world. We hide the parts we think society won't like.
- Shadow
- Made up of the parts of our personalities we think people won't like.
- Anima and Animus
- Anima is the feminine side of the male. Animus is the masculine side of the female.
- The Self
- Most important part of the psyche. Seeks the integration of all parts and guides us through life.
- Can be seen as the "God within", the mystical part of the humans or the soul.
- Most important part of the psyche. Seeks the integration of all parts and guides us through life.
- Persona
- God as an Archetype - the God within.
- Images and ideas of God which humans have are archetypal.
- Born with a tendency to come up with religious ideas of God.
- God is an inner psychological experience.
- Ineffable: comes from a part of the mind which we know nothing about.
- An experience of any archetype would be religious.
- To those who experience the effects of archetypes, God is real.
- Nothing can be proved about his existence outside of the mind.
- God: maintains the balance of the mind and prevents neuroses through individuation.
