In his time, psychologist Carl Gustav Jung wrote volumes and spoke countless times about his research into the unconscious of the human mind. He found that throughout the history of man, there have been “visions” that seem to follow archetypal patterns, and the similarities between the visions of people from completely unrelated religions and eras was something that he decided could not be ignored. The psyche, he asserts, is very real, and it is the goal of the human mind to gain the knowledge that lies in the “collective unconscious.” It is through the afore-mentioned visions that the mind attempts to enlighten the individual. What appear to simply be dreams may be one’s mind trying to achieve transcendence or individuation; meaning the truths about yourself and about enlightenment that are ever-present in the unconscious break through into consciousness, thereby giving the recipient wholeness and individuality.
