Vicariously

“My thesis then, is as follows: in addition to our immediate consciousness, which is of a thoroughly personal nature and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche (even if we tack on the personal unconscious as an appendix), there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This collective unconscious does not develop individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents.”

If this is a Collective product, then from where does it spring? Whose Collection of ideas and standards?

It seems to me that the Collective Unconscious, whatever it's roots, must evolve as we do.
Rather than being a relentless, unyielding inheritance, it must be as malleable as we- despite being much larger in scale.

And the more our Creative Faculties grow in all areas, the faster these "inherited" standards seem to change. Much to the bitter dissonance of those still on the old operating system and refusing an update...

These new ideas and new ways of being are constantly emerging; breaking boundaries, entirely up-heaving comfort zones, and steamrolling over old paradigms.

And despite the insistence of some... it has been that way for hundreds of years!!! Not obeying some guidelines of things staying the way they were because of arbitrary religious perspectives, but CHANGE! That is the natural order.

We all have doubts about our dreams, as much as we have our hopes. We all have ideas that run the gambit of judgement. Shameful, beautiful. Horrendous, noble. Right, wrong.
Yet why, as we may simply sit on these ideas, do they inevitably seem to manifest in the world?

All manner of obscure and bizarre ideas, to life that shits Gold (Bacteria recently discovered in the Amazon) to Humans with the features of Women and the function of Men.

No matter how disparate, or how far apart these ideas are on the planet, once borne into the Human consciousness our Creative musings seem to continue to grow until somehow, some way, somewhere in the world, they pop up in to real life.

How then, can all of that just happen if we aren't connected in some way deeper than we realize?

I don't know that whatever bond we all seem to share with each other is an Inheritance or Standards to refer to.

But I do know for certain that there is a Collective Unconscious, an Eternal Artist, that wants to explore every notion and play with every possibility.
As we live life, so too does life live us.
