Carl Jung Is A Swiss Psychiatrist and Psychoanalys

Carl Jung is a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who made the theory
named Collective Unconscious. The Collective Unconscious by Carl Jung is

responsible for a number of deep-seated beliefs and instincts, such as
spirituality, sexual behavior, and life and death instinct. We also unconsciously
inherit the beliefs of our ancestors. Collective Unconscious can also applied to
our dreams and things that we cant explain like having a phobia on clowns
and spiders without experiencing it. Collective Unconscious is applied to our
daily lives like our instincts or beliefs. It can also find it on stories such as
folklore, legends and myths.
The first example is The story of Hercules. Hercules is son of Greek God,
Zeus, is turned into a half-god, half-mortal by evil Hades, God of the
Underworld, who plans to overthrow Zeus.He is raised on earth raised
by Amphitryon and Alcmene. Hercules learned to be a hero in earth so he
could attain his true form as a god but then he met this beautiful woman
named Meg, who works secretly for Hades. He continue to be a savior of
earth while he’s in love with Meg. He sacrificed his self for his love, Meg,
which makes him a hero and while he’s dying, his immortality came back and
he save Meg’s soul and went together to Olympus.
As the story goes, the Collective Unconscious here is the instinct of a man
which we inherit from them or our ancestors. We men instinctively stand up
for the person we love. We have this masculinity to provide and protect our
love ones. We have this instinct to act the way we should, like provide for our
love ones needs and show that we are dependable. When it comes to crisis,
we are the first to act, like secure our family and we also have this thinking
that men can sacrifice his self for the one they love. The beliefs or instinct of
self sacrifice is already implanted to men’s brain. There’s so many kind of
form of Collective Unconscious that can be applied or be found on stories and
myths and the other example is, the movie, Clash of the Titans.
Perseus, a demigod and the son of Zeus, battles the minions of Hades
and the Underworld in order to stop them from conquering Olympus and
Earth. Perseus is born god, but raised by humans. He made a vow to
take revenge on Hades as he saw his mortal family perish. He fell into
despair and think nothing but to protect the human kind and stop Hades
from destroying Olympus and earth. Hades unleashed the Kraken to
destroy Argos but Perseus came and defeat it with the head of Medusa.
The story shows the war between man and God, they lost faith with the
gods as they show their wrath to them. They destroys the statue of Zeus
the God of Gods. The humans became independent and learns to stand
up for themselves and didn’t depends on gods. The conflict starts with
Zeus deceived Hades, he is forced to rule the underworld while Zeus
created humans and ruled them while Poseidon rules the sea. Zeus and
Poseidon gains power through prayers of humans while Hades gain
power through fear and that’s when humans starts to despise gods
specially Zeus, the root of the chaos.
This story have a Collective Unconscious because of the beliefs of

human kind. They worship gods and make wishes to them, they become
dependent and didn’t learn to stank on their own until the chaos came.
But as what the story said, they cut off their belief that god will bless
them because they learn the truth. If we are going to compare it to the
real world or to our world, we also have the same belief, we believe on
God, but we have different God. They have multiples of god, but we
Christians, have one and only God. The beliefs and traditions that we
inherit from our ancestors are still flowing to our blood and got spread
to our era. The difference is we still believe in our God, while they don’t.
This myths has been spread through different country and affects our
own culture and as we speak of culture, there’s a myth that has culture
and Collective Unconscious and it’s Beowulf.
King Hrothgar of Denmark, a descendant of the great king Shield Sheafson,
enjoys a prosperous and successful reign. He builds a great mead-hall, called
Heorot, where his warriors can gather to drink, receive gifts from their lord,
and listen to stories sung by the scops, or bards. But the jubilant noise from
Heorot angers Grendel, a horrible demon who lives in the swampland of
Hrothgar’s kingdom. Grendel terrorizes the Danes every night, killing them
and defeating their efforts to fight back. And that’s when Beowulf came, he
heard about hteir situation and offered a hand and wished to fight Grendel
and kill it which they approved. Beowulf defeated Grendel but that’s not the
end of it. Grendel’s mother came and seeks for revenge, She murders
Aeschere, one of Hrothgar’s most trusted advisers, before slinking away to
the murky swamp. Beowulf dives into the swamp and killed Grendel’s mother
with the sword made by the giants. As the time goes by the king died and
Beowulf ascend the throne and after 50 years they angered the dragon.
Beowulf defeated the dragon with the aid of Wiglaf, but it cost his life.
According Beowulf last wish, they burn their departed king’s body on a huge
funeral pyre and then bury him with a massive treasure in a barrow
overlooking the sea.
It’s such an amazing story with a lot of lessons. Beowulf have a picture of a
leader, A dependable man who leads a country. It’s also similar with the
instinct of men, because universally, majority on today's era, everything are
leads by men. It’s already part of our culture that we men should be
masculine and lead our people to a bright future. Beliefs, culture and instinct
have similarities and that is, it can be applied unconsciously to our daily lives.
Collective Unconscious is applied to our daily lives whether it’s on myths or

present. People have their own culture and beliefs and also instinct like
reactions also exists. We have beliefs that no matter what generations it is, it
still exists. Every living being have a Collective Unconscious wether it’s human
or animal we have brain to think and instinctively react.
