Summary of Carl G. Jung's Man and His Symbols - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Man uses the spoken or written word to express the meaning of what he wants to convey. His language is full of symbols, but he also often employs signs or images that are not strictly descriptive. Some are mere abbreviations or strings of initials, while others are familiar trade marks, the names of patent medicines, or badges. #2 The human mind never comprehends anything fully or perceive anything completely.
We can see, hear, and touch, but we never see, hear, and touch everything fully. We can only see, hear, and touch certain things subliminally, without our conscious knowledge. #3 The unconscious is not a separate part of the human mind, but a part of nature that we cannot define or understand. It is limitless, and we can only describe how it functions. #4 The bush soul is the soul of an animal, and the animal is considered as some sort of brother to the man.
If the bush soul is a tree, the tree has parental authority over the individual concerned.
