Document Summary
Jung said: libido is a life enhancing force . Personal unconscious (closer to conscious): empty at birth, because it is based on personal experience. Ideas that were so weak they never got into consciousness. Conscious memories, you an bring them into consciousness but are not needed all the time down into the personal unconscious (freud"s repression) Material that was in consciousness but is disturbing, so we push it: complexes: collection of emotions images etc. that have a common theme. Energy from the collective unconscious archetypes bubbles up and groups around the personal unconscious. The complexes are our personality, we all have common complexes but their content is different. They power our behaviour and the energy comes from the little bubble of archetypal energy. Archetype: instinct for social conformity; the desire to please others. It is the foundation for morality (we behave morally because it is what others want us to do).
