Jung and Religion
- Jungian Theory
- Jung identified two types of unconscious. Personal
unconscious forgotten memories of the individual and
collective unconscious the inherited memory common
to all humans (basically as humans we all have
common traits in our unconscious minds.)
- Found correlation between people who were dreaming and
those suffering from psychic disorders. They were often
preoccupied with similar ideas and images.
- A schizophrenic Miss Miller had dreams where her desire for
God was compared with the desire for light. Jung noted that a
parallel between God and light is found in many religions.
(Christian view of Jesus as 'the light if the world'.)
- Due to the similarities in mental images Jung made a
further division of the unconscious mind, into the personal
unconscious an the collective unconscious.
- Links to the collective unconscious her fantasy and
the similarities between religion (light imagery) are all
derived from the collective unconscious.

- Archetypes
- Aspects of self, which are expressed through myths and
symbols, and in dreams and daily life. Jung's technical name to
the part of the psyche that creates the images in the
unconscious. He says that then mind contains structure that
when combined with knowledge gained through our
experiences construct uniform images.
- Types of Archetypes:
- Persona- The tendency to put up a front to cover
out true nature, for the benefit of society. The
archetype of the self shown to the world.
- Shadow- Denotes the disposition to portray the
darker side of our characters. The archetype
which expressed the evil of which each person
is capable.
- Anima- The female archetype.
Animus- The male archetype.
- The Wise Old Man- Archetype featured in many myths and
legends e.g. Gandalf in Lord Of The Rings. According to Jung
they are part of the structure of the psyche for all humanity.
- Self- The organising principle of the psyche (mind.) For Jung
Christ was a representation of the archetype as well as
mandalas. Due to Christ being depicted in Christian
art/narrative as a hero who overcomes great trials. Also who
is a perfect, whole, integrated man so perfect he's divine.
The mandala because it usually shows some kind of
organising principle aroung a central point.
- Self needs wholeness and it controls the
minds balance through recognising and
integrating unconscious aspects of the
mind. Through this images of wholeness
are produced (including religious ones).

- Individuation
- The process of integrating the unconscious mind
into the conscious mind, and bringing the
archetypes into balance. Links to info below (Self
archetype.)

- The Collective Unconscious
- This is the unconscious mind that is
shared by all humanity.
- Linking to the case of miss Miller we are all born with the
tendency to conceive these images (light imagery.) One
effect of this tendency is similar images produced in
dreams. Jung believed that God is one of these images.
- The collective unconscious means that many of
our ideas about God will be shared with other
people.

- God as archetype of the Collective Unconscious.
- Jung argued that at a deeper level in the
Collective Unconscious deeper than the Self is
the God archetype. He argues that it was the core
of all the symbols and imagery of God in religions.
- Jung claimed that the God archetype can't be know directly similar to the
other archetypes. It can only be known through symbols projected out from
the Unconscious. Also he claimed that the unknowable God archetype is a
component of the Collective Unconscious, everyone has it, it's universal.
