- our psyche has two distinct parts:
- consciousness → what we are aware of
- [[{1.5a} conscious attitude]]
- unconsciousness → what we are unaware of; divided into:
- [[{1.5b} the personal unconscious]] → everything we have forgotten or repressed; “subliminal perceptions” not strong enough to reach our consciousness yet; things consciousness is not “ready” for.
- collective unconscious → shared archetypes and patterns.
- the relationship between the conscious and unconscious is “compensatory and complementary”.
- that which is not conscious will be unconscious.
- together, they make up the **entire self**.
