memories inherited from the common
ancestors of the whole human race

The Personal Unconscious

images and thought forms that have
universal meaning.

ways to common human experiences.

history, are present at birth, and
common to all humans.

external world, are social and like
working with others
 introverts: energy is focused more
inward on themselves and their own
thoughts and feelings

they understand and relate to the world

by “thinking” or “feeling”

the senses “sensing” or through
unconscious processes “intuiting”

the senses without interpreting or
evaluating it.

without physical sensation, reasoning, or
interpretation.

 Everything that irritates us about others
can lead us to a better understanding
of ourselves.
 The shoe that fits one person pinches
another; there is no recipe for living
that suits all cases.
 As far as we can discern, the sole
purpose of human existence is to
kindle a light in the darkness of mere
being.
The least of things with a
meaning is worth more in
life than the greatest of
things without it.
C.G. Jung
