This is Crucial information!

I find it all illuminating on Jung, but you seem correct, john miller. It is impossible to know what Jung would think of any interpretation of his work without having his comments. It appears that more than a chapter of this was written by Jung. To what parts do you refer that were not?

We live in a strange and fragment world that becomes more fragmented every year. Our dreams are still archetypical, but it’s mushed into a cloud of contemporary confusion.

@@9Iamthewalrus As the stories we hear growing up become more and more disparate and varied, we would probably have a lot more trouble now with the kind of person-to-person interpretation of dreams that Jung often did. For example, kids who grow up watching a lot of episodic tv shows experience a story structure that differs fundamentally from the hero's journey: instead of reaching a new and elevated or worsened state of affairs, the "heroes" return at the end of each episode to a homeostasis that is essentially no different from where they were at the beginning. The effect this could have on a person's view of conflict, change, and problem-solving might be massive, and is probably destructive, but that doesn't stop people from running the experiment unwittingly on their own children. Weird times, man. Weird times.

@@zechariahbryan1568 Similar phenomenonas the "unhallucinogenic acid trip", cartoons and immersive video games have hijacked our visualizations of symbols and structures on our astral headspace. I worked with VR for a bit and can say it interfieres with how you descend normal daydreaming and meditation, its suddenly alot closer to baseline. All that means is that weve reached a plateau of common myth structure, which only works as long as the current paradigm sits still. It also doesn't help that though the atomic worship of Jesus weve become singular in our interpretation of the hero, meaning we cannot see a hero detached from everyone else's hero story. In a way it's a good recipe for revolution (remutation), makes me wish Jung listened to Otto Gross a bit more instead of locking him up and plagarising from him.

Jung wasn't really creating systems he was observing what was very old and already there. Although he interpreted it in his own words.
