(writing by me) Demons - The Collective Unconscious - Conducting the Higher Will


While it is true that Jung “came to see the psyche as an inherently more spiritual and fluid place, an ocean that could be fished for enlightenment” he also recognized that great care must be taken by the individual when delving into his or her unconscious and possibly even much more care should be taken when going beyond that into the collective unconscious.

From ‘Two essays on analytical psychology’ by Jung, Francis, Hull.
“We are greatly mistaken if we think that the unconscious is something harmless that could be made into an object of entertainment, a parlor game.”

“It is as if one were digging an artesian well and ran the risk of stumbling on a volcano.”

(article) C. G. Jung and the Alchemical Renewal

When Jung published his first major work on alchemy at the end of World War II, most reference books described this discipline as nothing more than a fraudulent and inefficient forerunner of modern chemistry. Today, more than twenty-five years after Jung's death, alchemy is once again a respected subject of both academic and popular interest, and alchemical terminology is used with great frequency in textbooks of depth-psychology and other disciplines. It may be said without exaggeration that the contemporary status of alchemy owes its very existence to the psychological wizard of Küsnacht. Take away the monumental contribution of C.G. Jung, and most modern research concerning this fascinating subject falls like a house of cards; to speak of alchemy in our age and not mention him could be likened to discoursing on Occultism without noting the importance of Helena P. Blavatsky, or discussing religious studies in contemporary American universities without paying homage to Mircea Eliade.
