Active Imagination
A method of introspection for observing the stream of interior images. One concentrates one’s attention on some impressive but unintelligible dream-image, or on a spontaneous visual impression, and observes the changes taking place in it. Meanwhile, of course, all criticism must be suspended and the happenings observed and noted with absolute objectivity. Obviously, too, the objection that the whole thing is “arbitrary” or “thought up” must be set aside, since it springs from the anxiety of an ego-consciousness which brooks no master besides itself in its own house. In other words, it is the inhibition exerted by the conscious mind on the unconscious.
Under these conditions, long and often very dramatic series of fantasies ensue. The advantage of this method is that it brings a mass of unconscious material to light. Drawing, painting, and modelling can be used to the same end. Once a visual series has become dramatic, it can easily pass over into the auditive or linguistic sphere and give rise to dialogues and the like…It is based on a deliberate weakening of the conscious mind and its inhibiting effect, which either limits or suppresses the unconscious. The aim of the method is naturally therapeutic in the first place, while in the second it also furnishes rich empirical material. Some of our examples are taken from this. They differ from dreams only by reason of their better form, which comes from the fact that the contents were perceived not by a dreaming but by a waking consciousness.

“It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth--penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words. It is beyond words. Beyond images [...]. Mythology pitches the mind beyond that rim, to what can be known but not told”.
- Joseph Campbell.

Know About Your Archetypes
Recurring patterns or universal symbols known as archetypes are present in the human collective unconscious. They stand for universally understood, historically pervasive human experiences, feelings, and actions. These archetypes provide a framework for mythology, narrative, and the human mind. 
Tumblr media
The Hero is an important archetype. The journey of a protagonist who embarks on a transforming mission and encounters difficulties is represented by the Hero archetype. This archetype stands for the capacity for progress, bravery, and resistance to adversity in people. The Hero's journey frequently includes a summons to action, a mentor figure, a pivotal conflict, and a return with fresh insight or a priceless gift.          The Trickster is another well-known archetype. The figure who disturbs the status quo and defies authority is the Trickster archetype, who is crafty and mischievous. This archetype personifies the disorganized and erratic elements of human nature. The Trickster frequently acts as a catalyst for change and transformation, dismantling established laws and customs to introduce fresh viewpoints and opportunities.
The Wise Old Man/Woman archetype, last but not least, stands for knowledge, wisdom, and direction. Typically, an older, wiser person who possesses profound insight and understanding is shown as this archetype. The protagonist receives guidance and advice from the Wise Old Man/Woman, who also acts as a mentor or counselor. This archetype stands for the value of learning from the past, the pursuit of knowledge, and self-discovery.
Because they appeal to common human emotions and experiences, archetypes are potent storytelling devices that captivate audiences. They offer a conceptual framework for comprehending the complexity of both human nature and the environment. Storytellers and individuals can draw on the rich reservoir of universal understanding and produce narratives that connect with audiences by knowing and utilizing archetypes.

The Psychology of Fairy Tales
“Fairy tales are the purest and simplest expression of collective unconscious psychic processes. Therefore, their value for the scientific investigation of the unconscious exceeds that of all other material.” - Marie Louise von Franz

A man may be convinced in all good faith that he has no religious ideas, but no one can fall so far away from humanity that he no longer has any dominating représentation collective. His very materialism, atheism, communism, socialism, liberalism, intellectualism, existentialism, or what not, testifies against his innocence. Somewhere or other, overtly or covertly, he is possessed by a supraordinate idea...
Any one who succeeds in putting off the mantle of faith can do so only because another lies close to hand. No one can escape the prejudice of being human.

"When the history of the earth enters a very critical period, as at present, the myths, gods and demons that direct us, the Archetypes, come to take an even more active part, becoming almost visible to many. They participate directly in the combat".

Quote
Mankind always stands on the brink of actions it performs itself but does not control. The whole world wants peace and the whole world prepares for war, to take but one example. Mankind is powerless against mankind, and the gods, as ever, show it the ways of fate.
Carl Jung, Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious
