The Unconscious/Collective Unconscious & Universal Mind-The Low
Threshold Content and the Autonomous part of the Psyche that contains the
Archetypes or Spirits. It is Impersonal and Collective, meaning not attributed to any one Individual. For example, a Mother is an image/idea/instinct common to everyone. The Ocean is a good symbol of the collective unconscious. The Collective quality is the main motif of the Unconscious where as the Individual quality is central to the Ego and Consciousness. Anything coming from the Unconscious is first seen through Projection. The Collective Unconscious may parallel what is known as “Prakriti.” A common symbol of the Collective Unconscious is the Maternal Womb which is also associated with Prakriti or Mother Nature.
Unconsciousness & Universal Mind-Similar to saying Universal
Consciousness. It is where the Ego is to be considered dissolved in the
Unconscious and is what the Yogi’s refer to as “Samadhi.” Universal
Consciousness or Unmanifest Consciousness contradicts itself as a concept
because when objects, ideas, images are in unison or in harmony they become “unknown” in the sense that there is no difference from each other and therefore “undifferentiated.” Something only becomes “Differentiated” or Conscious or Known when there is a split from the whole.
Undifferentiated-When something is in it’s infantile state and remains primitive and unconscious.
Unus mundus-Psychoid Idea of one interconnected realm or world. That inner and outer states are the same. That Spirit & Matter is the same.
