Thanks to my uncle, I began reading Jung’s The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious last January. Throughout the Winter, Spring, and Summer, I worked through several sections, allowing my interest on certain topics like the inner child to guide me. The book changed my life and the way I appreciate psychology. Today, we see Jung in our mindfulness memes. Jung gives young people an idea of their personality types through the Myers-Briggs test. 

His writing on ghosts and the protraction of self outwards for the external psychic experience is something I have attempted to write about myself and feel as if I owe him personally for his chronicling the existentially nuanced study of self; we are so hidden from ourselves and we have forgotten how much our modern theories on therapies draw from his empirical hypotheses and wildly varied correspondences. 

He made these complexities and nearly unattainable findings for laymen easier to comprehend. The ghost is a friendly concept, and their solitary afterlives seem like luck when imagining what sins they found themselves enjoying while here. There is much sadness in this solo life, and Jung’s open-mindedness makes you feel better. The way in which Jung so rationally wrote about the irrational gives you something to hold onto.
