Carl Jung and Restoration

Carl Jung believed in personal unconscious. The personal unconscious consists of experiences that had either been repressed or simply forgotten. It it the information from one’s life that for one reason or another has been forgotten. Some of this information is easy to retrieve and some of it is not. I think the idea of the unconscious can go into the category of restoration. The ability to forget things can be and usually is frustrating. However, repressing memories into the unconscious can be a good thing. The concept of restoration is bringing the world back to a more ideal way of life. This is the same way the personal unconscious works. One’s mind has the ability to remove the things that it does not like or that it finds not pleasant. When thinking about creation/fall/redemption/restoration there is an understanding of a continuous working progress. That is how our mind is. It is continuously changing and shaping. The conscious mind goes through all of the stages, and I think that the unconscious fits into the restoration part of the mind. In restoring your mind and world to a point of pleasure your mind places things into your personal unconscious so it can begin to restore your world into what your mind thinks it should be. Jung had ideas of reaching meaning in you life, and I think this comes with having a personal unconscious.
