8. Jung, ‘On the psychology of the unconscious,’ quoted in Frey-Rohn, From Freud to Jung, p. 96.

9. ‘Within the limits of psychic experience’ Jung explains, ‘the collective unconscious takes the place of the Platonic realm of eternal Ideas. Instead of these models giving form to created things, the collective unconscious, through its archetypes, provides the a priori condition for the assignment of meaning’ (Mysterium Coniunctionis, p. 87). What is in question here is exactly what the ‘limits of psychic experience’ are. If the psyche, as Jung suggests elsewhere, rests on a transcendental background and is fundamentally connected to nature and the external world, then Jung’s theory of archetypes and the collective unconscious, in its later formulation, is closer to the Platonic position than has generally been assumed. This implication is strongly reinforced by Jung’s observations of synchronistic phenomena.

30. According to Rudolf Otto, numinosity is a fundamental characteristic of the experience of the divine. Using Otto’s terminology, Jung describes the experience of the archetypes as numinous. See Otto, Idea of the Holy.

31. Such experiences obviously call into question Jung’s claim that the archetypes are actually unknowable
