Abstract
This paper discusses how each individual progresses through the social order with the expectations of conforming to religious political community and personal expectations. Religion is in theory supposed to address the spiritual needs of the individual. The paper further discusses that as religions are consistently changing in society, this is not often the case. Medicine may address the diseases and illnesses that can be scientifically detected in the patient but often times there is pain that cannot be identified as having a direct physical cause. Psychologists, such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, believed that as human beings progressed through life their psychological conditions would create upheaval in a way that could create physical and spiritual unrest, with no apparent cure for the ailment.

Abstract
In this article the author looks at the events of 9/11 and its aftermath through the eyes of Carl Jung. He examines how Jung would have reacted to the events of 9/11. He points out that Jung believed very strongly in coincidence. But, would he have thought that 9/11 was a coincidence, something hidden in the collective unconsciousness. Maybe the unconscious beliefs of government officials, the CIA and FBI who knew that there was something going to happen, but didn't know when or where or even how. The paper goes on to describe how Jung would have categorized the different reactions of the American people after 9/11 in his terms of introvert and extrovert personalities. The author examines the different archetypes that Jung proposed in terms of 9/11. The paper concludes with the statement that even Jung would have not have been able to explain the "why?" of the terrorist attacks and what they hoped to accomplish.
From the Paper
"Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself. It would be interesting to assume that the thousands who died at the World Trade Center, the Pennsylvania field and at the Pentagon were somehow part of a Jungian dream. But, while we might think of Freud and Jung as seeing psychosis in dreams, Jung was more realistic. "Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem" (Boeree 1)."

Abstract
This paper discusses Carl Jung's autobiography, "Memories, Dreams, and Reflections'', explaining that the text does not dwell much on Jung's outer, mundane life but uses anecdotes and personal memories to substantiate Jung's theories about human consciousness and the religious impulse. The writer explains that most of the text is impersonal and theoretical, highly philosophical and existential. Additionally, the paper notes that Jung also comments frequently on the nature of organized religion as well as the prevailing thought about human nature and psychology.
From the Paper
''Especially during the early sections of the book, Jung focuses on how his upbringing and early education impacted the evolution of his theories. Jung was raised in a fairly conservative environment, and in a religious Christian family. His exposure to conservative social values helped Jung to recognize how religion shaped human consciousness and vice-versa. For Jung, religion was an outer expression of the collective unconscious: a central theme throughout Jung's work. The collective unconscious is the great repository of symbols, archetypes, meanings, and motifs that is shared in common by all human beings. Differences between cultures, religions, and individuals are mainly superficial when viewed from Jung's point of view. Jung therefore values the world's great and small religions and refers to Buddhism and Greek myth as much as he does to Christianity.''

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and personality of musician, Jerry Garcia. It discusses various events from his childhood and how these helped to form his personality. The paper specifically looks at Carl Jung's theories of operant conditioning and behaviorism and how they relate to the life and experiences of Jerry Garcia. The paper also analyzes Garcia's personality in terms of Jung's core principles of identity such as the ego, the personal consciousness and the collective unconscious.
From the Paper
"Jerry Garcia's personality can be analyzed also in terms of Jung's core principles of identity such as the ego, the personal consciousness, and the collective unconscious. Psychedelic drugs open the mind to what might be termed a collective unconscious in which the world is filled with symbols. The shadow part of the personality would explain Jerry's persistent drug use in spite of the health problems it would cause him later in life and eventually led to his death. Jerry Garcia, evident in the type of shows the Grateful Dead played during their decades-long existence, was also enamored with the dream world. Long, extended music jams were perfect opportunities to let the mind roam free and explore the unconscious dimensions of the human personality. Jerry's father-like image makes him an archetype, too. With the big, bushy beard he became known for, Jerry Garcia almost resembles the Christian depiction of deity; Jerry Garcia was nothing but a rock and roll God, which is another reason why Jungian psychology can best explain the life and personality of the musician."

Abstract
This essay deals with an indepth look at the psychological theory of Carl Jung and how it came to be. It speaks of the influences from his personal life as well as those from other psychologists of the time. The essay looks at the idea of archetypes and how dreams manifest what is really in our unconscious mind and that to be a "whole" person one has to face the unconscious.
From the Paper
"Man is not an isolated figure, but lives in a world that has many facets. Being constantly immersed in a specific culture and environment is bound to affect any field of study in which one is engaged. This is true for Carl Jung and his analytic personality psychology. Throughout his life, Jung was greatly affected by many events and incidents. He strived to make sense of them in an organized manner, but it was not until later in life that he was able to fully understand the true meaning of these events. Jung brought to his work and theories personal experiences, familial relations experiences, as well as the cultural-historical ideas of his time that, combined would give Jung the foundation he needed to create his great psychological theory."

Abstract
This paper examines how Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung were both extremely influential in the field of psychology. In particular, it discusses how both men contributed to their own very different psychoanalytic theories to the field and how they also both believed in the power of dream analysis in discovering the secrets of the unconscious. The paper also looks at how their life experiences, backgrounds, and different theories contributed to the differences in their theories of the unconscious and dream analysis.
From the Paper
"For Freud, dreams revealed many things about the unconscious mind of a person. "Freud defined dreams as: the hallucinatory realizations of repressed desires." (Zanuso 138) He felt that dreams were a way of showing the internalized and sometimes repressed desires of a person. "You should bear in mind that the dreams which we produce at night have, on the one hand, the greatest external similarity and internal kinships with the creations of insanity, and are, on the other hand, compatible with completely health in waking life." (Stafford-Clark 62) Dreams are affected by the external world, but also by internal conflicts with the external world. A person could have no idea as to the thoughts they repressed and appear happy and healthy to the outside world, but their conflicts would manifest themselves in the form of dreams."

Abstract
The paper discusses Jung's relationship with Sigmund Freud and addresses the debate over whether he was a Nazi sympathizer. The paper then focuses on Jung's psychoanalytical theory and how it divides the human psyche into three basic parts. The goal of Jungian theory, the basic archetypes in his theory and Jung's guiding principles of operation for the human psyche are all identified in the paper. The paper notes that Jung based his theory of personality largely on his own subjective experiences, rather than on data obtained from objective experiments or constructs learned from reading established medical textbooks or journals.
From the Paper
"The most commonly recognized name associated with modern psychology is Sigmund Freud. As a keen observer, astute record taker, and perceptive clinician and interviewer, Freud was able to build one of the most influential paradigms in modern psychology - the field of psychoanalysis. Freud's work spanned decades and through his teachings and research attracted a large number of students, many of whom became lauded independent theorists and clinicians in their own right, such as Adler, Horney, and Carl Jung. Each founded their basic ideology within the broader confines of psychoanalysis as conceived of by Sigmund Freud, but each overlaid their own unique perspectives on humanity. Perhaps the most pervasive, enlightening, and philosophical of these perspectives is that of Carl Jung, as outlaid in his Analytical Theory (also called Jungian Theory)."

Abstract
This paper outlines the beginnings and sources for Jung's new approach to psychology. The author finds that Jung's childhood experiences and the things he saw around him everyday, greatly influenced his approach to psychology. The author believes that eventually Jung saw people no longer as individuals but as a collective group who shared the same unconscious and primitive ideas. This paper looks at Jung's dreams and his idea of archetypes and explains how he found support for these in other religions from the past.
