Carl G. Jung is currently considered the father of Transpersonal Psychology. His ideas and concepts not only renewed and shed light on psychology but also on many other sciences.

He mainly bequeathed to us a new conception of what the Unconscious is. It is worth mentioning that Jungian concepts are very broad in their scope, and due to their breadth, we cannot in any way address all the applications and ramifications they may have. A concept presents a danger, as Jung understood since it can guide or limit our observations to the point of making us see things that do not exist. Therefore, Jung advised not to cling to our concepts and insisted on the priority of observable facts over theories.

We will highlight one of the fundamental points of Carl Gustav Jung's ideas, his approach to the Unconscious. For this, its differentiation from the Freudian concept of the unconscious is indispensable. The term Unconscious already existed in philosophy in Hartmann and Carus; Freud's merit was its clinical application, that is, its functioning in mental disorders. It was also an important discovery by Freud to bring to light the problem of sexual repression, a product of the hypocrisy of the Victorian Era. However, while doing good, this also brought new inconveniences to the science of Psychology since the unconscious in Freudian theory was reduced to a landfill for storing all contents repressed due to their incompatibility with the morality of the time, with sexual instinct being the most relegated in this repression. However, Jung pointed out that in the unconscious, not only what is repressed was found, which cost him his association and friendship with Freud. Also in the unconscious, what is forgotten, ignored, what the individual had been in previous existences was found, since Jung's psychology is a metaphysical psychology, and the spiritual is the center of this theory.

Jung identifies two Unconscious: one of a personal nature, that is, the Personal Unconscious; and another deeper one he called the Collective Unconscious. The contents of the Personal Unconscious are Complexes, virtues, and defects originated in past lives that shape the personality of the current existence. These contents are personal because they respond to the individual history and phylo-ontogenetic heritage of each particular individual.

The Collective Unconscious is common to all humanity; it is formed by that which makes man human. It is the matrix from which all physical and psychological life of the individual emerges. Instincts and all emotional states come from there. Jung demonstrated its existence in the extraordinary anthropological-psychological work he carried out with different cultures and from the explanation of the knowledge found at the heart of these, in their myths, religions, and philosophical conceptions. He found extraordinary parallels in the production of symbols from the Unconscious of modern man, African tribal man, North American indigenous man, and modern European man. Cultures, individuals, and cosmologies whose creators could not have had contact with each other produced the same symbols, only with superficial differences. Jung called these universal and timeless symbolic contents Archetypes. The contents of the Collective Unconscious are the Archetypes. Simultaneously, quantum physicists discover the same. There is no longer matter but pure ideological forms, Jung's Archetypes.

Delving into Jung's psychology is entering a mythical adventure. These ideas can change the course of our view of ourselves and the world. If our view of the world changes, our whole life changes. Our reality transforms, and we stop feeling alone and isolated from others, knowing, psychologically and physically, that we are all constructed by the same forces, archetypes, and energies.
