Carl JungAn understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but

with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the

growing plant and for the soul of the child. Carl Jung

III. The Archetype

Carl Jung

III. The ArchetypeA. An inherited

pattern of thought or symbolic imagery derived from the past collective experience and present in the individual unconscious

Carl JungB. “…besides [the

intellect] there is a thinking in primordial images—in symbols which are older than historic man, which are inborn in him from the earliest times, and, eternally living, outlasting all generations, still make up the groundwork of the human psyche.”

Carl JungC. “All the most powerful ideas in history go back to archetypes. This is particularly true of religious ideas, but the central concepts of science, philosophy, and ethics are no exception to this rule. In their present form they are variants of archetypal ideas created by consciously applying and adapting these ideas to reality. For it is the function of consciousness not only to recognize and assimilate the external world through the gateway of the senses, but to translate into visible reality the world within us”

Carl Jung

IV. The Collective UnconsciousIn the fall of 1913, Jung had a vision of a "monstrous

flood" engulfing most of Europe and lapping at the mountains of his native Switzerland. He saw thousands of people drowning and civilization crumbling. Then, the waters turned into blood. This vision was followed, in the next few weeks, by dreams of eternal winters and rivers of blood. He was afraid that he was becoming psychotic.

But on August 1 of that year, World War I began. Jung felt that there had been a connection, somehow, between himself as an individual and humanity in general that could not be explained away.
