Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology. He is best known for his theories of the Collective Unconscious, including the concept of archetypes, and the use of synchronicity in psychotherapy.

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – Carl Jung
“It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.” – Carl Jung
“To ask the right question is already half the solution of a problem.” – Carl Jung
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves.” – Carl Jung– Carl Jung
“Archetypes are universal organizing themes or patterns that appear regardless of space, time, or person. Appearing in all existential realms and at all levels of systematic recursion, they are organized as themes in the unus mundus, which Jung (1970 Vol. 14. Mysterium coniunctionis. (1970), p. 505) described as “the potential world outside of time,” and are detectable through synchronicities”.

Archetypes are many: Love, beauty, truth, justice, abundance, wholeness, self–these are some of the major ones.
We do seem to incarnate in a particular life with a particular archetypal learning agenda: This is the concept of dharma in the Hindu tradition. The general rule of archetypal exploration is “to follow your dharma is to follow your bliss.” However, if you don’t have a notion or clue of what your dharma is then you have to use your intuition to guide you or resort to “memory practices.” When the crystalization experience reveals your dharma, all confusion will be gone!
