Carl Jung's Vision Was Clear; Focus On Dedication: Mystic never wavered in developing new psychiatric school.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)
Byline: SARAH Z. SLEEPER
In the autumn of 1913, 38-year-old Dr. Carl Gustav Jung had a vision that changed his life.
Jung was already a famous psychologist. He had worked with Sigmund Freud and served as president of the International Psychoanalytic Association, which they co-founded.
But after a rift with Freud, his mentor, Jung began a seven-year period of seclusion. It was during that time that he saw images in his mind of a giant flood engulfing most of Europe.
"He saw thousands of people drowning and civilization crumbling" and water turning into blood, according to an essay by George Boerre, a professor at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania.
When World War I started in August 1914, Jung believed his vision had been a precognition. That was the start of his belief in what he called the collective unconscious, the psychic connection between an individual and all of humanity.
Jung not only believed the collective unconscious existed, but he also saw it as a crucial component in the study and practice of psychology. That notion brought Jung acclaim and disdain.
