Document Summary
1: personal unconscious contains a set of collections what jung called complexes. Collections of thoughts, emotions, experiences which have koalas around a bubble of archetypal energy, which powers the behaviours that are involved in these complexes: the name of the complexes are the same as the archetypes. Archetype: instinct for integration, desire for unity, wholeness, perfection. Complex: self actualization, perfection in human personality, total integration of all of our complexes. Ex. baking a cake, the cake is all of the ingredients, but it"s none of those things, it"s integration of all the ingredients. Jung said there are 2 processes that are opposite, but complimentar which lead to the development of self: individuation consciously identifying and becoming aware of each of our complexes. Understanding the nature of animus, persona and shadow (transformation, the otherness and dark side of who we might be). To recognizes the many complexes in our personal consciousness: the transcendent function opposite, but complimentary of individuation.
