Jung’s primary disagreement with Freud stemmed from their differing concepts of the unconscious. Jung saw Freud’s theory of the unconscious as incomplete and unnecessarily negative. According to Jung (though not according to Freud), Freud conceived the unconscious solely as a repository of repressed emotions and desires. Jung agreed with Freud’s model of the unconscious, what Jung called the ‘personal unconscious,’ but he also proposed the existence of a second, far deeper form of the unconscious underlying the personal one. This was the collective unconscious, where the archetypes themselves resided, represented in mythology by a lake, or body of water, and in some cases a jug or other container. Freud had actually mentioned a collective level of psychic functioning but saw it primarily as an appendix to the rest of the psyche.

Archetypes residing in the unconscious, as if in an archive, where its primary meanings are preserved, and it persists for ages; that means the significance of the icon escapes changes through ages…that’s ahistorical. And it might trigger the concept of a essentially pure unsullied set of images/concepts, harking back to roots…this might invariably lead to fascism, of purity of racial imagination etc.
