Ego and Psyche views Catastrophe in complete opposites view

Carl Jung
Most people identify themselves almost exclusively with their consciousness, and imagine that they are only what they know about themselves. Yet anyone with even a smattering of psychology can see how limited this knowledge is.
Dreams send d hints from unconsciousness to us.
Day after day, we live far beyond our consciousness; without our knowledge, the life of the unconscious is also going on within us.
The more critical reason dominates, the more impoverished life becomes; but the more of the unconscious, and the more of myth we are capable of making conscious, the more of life we integrate. Overvalued reason has this in common with political absolutism; under its dominion, the individual is pauperized.

Soul - this is answering my question of fear to Friend yesterday, what happen if I go in further, would I be accepted. Would my life be ok.? CJ is saying to integrate - to include the unconsciousness. When I started to journey, is to open up unconsciousness, all d wounds n to overcome it. But now to live with it, something I didn't set out to do. Yea, d fight is letting my unconsciousness to live too. I was afraid n that is why I didn't like having dreams. Not jus becos it interrupt my sleep but bcos I don't know what is going on. I also worried unconscious will take over, like me laughing whole way in the drive home.
I recall d iceberg - both conscious n unconscious in one piece of ice berg, so both is me and here I am suppressing my unconsciousness. Previously I suppressed my emotion n now I have let go. I suppress my unconsciousness. The control/suppression took a step backward n is not remove yet.

Carl Jung
The unconsciousness helps by communicating things to us, or making figurative allusions. It has other ways, too, of informing us of things, which by logic, we could not possibly know.

I was sad about my mother death but it was impossible to yield entirely to my sorrow. Again and again, it was on the point of overwhelming me, but the next moment I would find myself once more engulfed by the merry melodies.
One side of me had a feeling of warmth and joy, and the other terror and grief; I was thrown back and forth between these contrasting emotions.
This paradox can be explained if we suppose that at one moment death was being represented from the point of view of the ego and at the next moment from that of the psyche. In the first case via ego, it appears as a catastrophe.
From another point of view, death appears as a joyfule event. The soul attains, as it were, its missing half, it achieves wholeness.

Souk - exactly what I experienced during meditation. Whenever I was worried about something and the ego is extrapolating to the max/worst case scenario, suddenly a different tot came, so what if that worst case happen..and i start to giggle and laughter burst out...strange..but has happens many times. So, these days, don't take my fears seriously. But its good to have CJ experiencing the same and sort of said I am on the right track.....amen
