The Definition of the "Collective Unconscious"
The collective unconscious refers to a shared, deeper level of the human psyche that contains inherited and universal symbols, themes, and instincts, which are not derived from personal experience but are part of our common humanity.
The Origins of the "Collective Unconscious"
The concept of the collective unconscious was developed by Carl Jung and suggests that there is a shared, inherited level of the human psyche containing universal symbols and patterns called archetypes. It reflects the idea that certain themes and motifs appear consistently across cultures and time periods, revealing a deeper layer of the human experience beyond personal history.
What does the "Collective Unconscious" mean to NEEKZ by niko renee?
We are like a mixture of sand in the hourglass of the universal unconscious.
NEEKZ aims to emphasize the balance of human experience with individual experience, as we may all just be recollections of past experience. We are everything that was and everything that will be. This may be why we relate to some more than others, why we are able to share experiences and emotions that feel so familiar. The collective unconscious holds everything that makes us uniquely human. Our archetypes are an attempt to symbolize all the differences we hold, yet how we somehow remain connected by the threads of being.
