The Building Blocks of the Modern Mind

“The collective unconscious is simply the psychic expression of the identity of brain structure irrespective of all racial differences” – Carl C. Jung

The human mind possesses common building blocks that transcend all differences in culture and intellect. This substratum is the Collective Unconscious; a biological mind common to all mankind.

The Biological Mind does not consist only of various types of emotions or thoughts, but also to common patterns and instincts.

The Collective Unconscious is the creator of the various myth motifs, symbols, and the possibility of human communication or why we talk. It is also the realm of the primordial images.

  2. Maybe something like a disco ball a fragmented whole spinning wildly out of control :)
