Question

Answer 1

I have an appreciation for the statement by Carl Jung that the growth in consciousness always involves in the loss of security and some degree of emotional pain. According to Carl jung dreams directly connected with human mind or spirit. According to him the dream is the small hidden door to the deepest part & the most holy place of the soul. Our dream serve as a communication or message from the unconscious. Dreams are impartial, products of the unconscious mind or spirit without the control of will & pure in nature as well. Dreams shows us unpolished natural truth and therefore it helps us to get back to our basic human nature when our consciousness lacks its basic values or foundation. However, it depends upon person to person how to use his power of his dreams & imaginations to raise his consciousness to bring significant changes in the world or society. According to Carl Jung attaining greater consciousness should be our main purpose of life. He believes that people will perform many things in this direction in order to raise their consciousness. He says that religious experience is absolute through which we can definitely bring positive changes in life along with raising our consciousness which will give better understanding of the world and definitely enable us to reduce the emotional pain what our heart feels. According to him consciousness rises out of the depths of psychic life just like many seperate lslands forms a big continent.
