Unconscious Two types of unconscious according to Jung (Mackey-Kallis 2023): Personal Unconscious - This is where personal dreams originate and are specific to the individual and involve material that may have been forgotten such as memories of birth or memories repressed from consciousness like child abuse. Collective Unconscious - Archetypal dreams originate from here. This area is a reservoir of elemental configurations or archetypes that are outside of space and time and it is inherited. "Identical and present in all individuals and represents a common psychic substrate of a suprapersonal nature" 🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦 Jung believed that the realm of consciousness does not make up the total psyche.

The Oceanic Feeling: A Whisper from the Divine? 🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟 In chapter one of Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud starts by discussing the validity of the feeling of religion and he ponders if it is based on a misunderstanding of the world. Freud terms this feeling of "oceanic oneness" as a feeling that people report when they are feeling at one with the universe. Freud also states that many people interpret this feeling as evidence of a higher power. Freud did not have those feelings and he was skeptical of its religious significance. Freud suggested that it may be a way of coping with the feeling of isolation and insignificance that comes from living in a large and impersonal world. In chapter one, Freud goes on to say that a psychoanalytic explanation of this feeling is necessary and then he takes a stab at it. 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥 In this chapter, Freud discusses the development of the ego in early childhood  Freud states...

 Crystals From Down Under 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥 Sigmund Freud's approach to treating crystal meth addiction would likely be different from Jung's in a number of ways.

 Jung's Approach to Crystal Meth Addiction  👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Carl Jung's approach to treating crystal meth addiction would probably focus on helping the person to understand and integrate the unconscious forces that are driving their addiction. Jung believed that addiction is a symptom of a deeper psychological problem and that in order to truly recover, the person must address the underlying issues. The shadow is a key concept of Jungian psychology. The shadow is the part of the unconscious that contains all of the negative and unacceptable aspects of our personality. The shadow is an important part of the psyche which must be integrated into the conscious personality in order to be whole and healthy. In the case of crystal meth addiction, Jung would likely focus on helping the person to identify and understand their shadow. I believe he would then help them to learn to accept and integrate the shadow into their conscious personality. 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥?...

JUNG 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥 Jung was a loyal supporter of Freud early in his career. Freud co nsidered Jung to be his heir apparent, but their friendship and cooperation ended after several years due to theoretical disagreements. Jung was hesitant to embrace the Freudian concept of sexuality and libido and he was critical of Freud's views of human sexuality. Jung developed his own original theory of personality, which attracted a large following. (Shiraev 2016) \🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟 Jung believed that dreams contain experiences beyond conscious awareness.
