It refers to the unconscious mind and shared mental concepts, with psychiatrist Carl Jung receiving acclaim for the idea.
But how does the collective unconscious relate to psychedelics? Some may say these powerful drugs create elements of fantasy and wild imagination.
The Collective Unconscious
The term collective unconscious represents a form of the unconscious which is common to all mankind, stemming from the inherited part of the brain.
This unique and abstract concept was, once again, coined by Carl Jung after working with schizophrenic patients.
Jung took it a step further and introduced something called the archetypes which form the structure of the collective unconscious. There are four main archetypes:
– Persona – Shadow – Anima, Animus – Self
According to Jung, each represents the matrix which influences human thinking.
Psychedelics
Psychedelic compounds create visual, sensory, and auditory distortions — these are hallucinations. The person taking them experiences a variety of effects, most of which they can’t control.
The Unveiling Of The Mystical
