- The Archetypes
- Structures in our psyche that generate uniform images
- Produced when combined with knowledge gained from experience
- Include: Persona, the Shadow, Animus & Anima
- The God Archetype: each of us is born with the tendency to generate religious images
- Images prouced by the archetypes are:
- NUMINOUS: awe inspiring
- INEFFABLE: produced by the subconscious - so we can never fully understand
- Therefore, they are religious experiences!
- Individuation is a process that allows us to achieve balance...
- ...between the conscious & unconscios
- ...between the archetypes
- It is governed by the SELF archetype
- The SELF produces balancing images such as mandala
- As well as images of GOD... Therefore, the images produced by the God archetype are the same as those produced by the Self archetype
- If religion is rejected, you cannot individuate successfully & neurosis is more likely
