Collective unconscious Quote by Bishop Harber
““The Shadow Self is a personal aspect to each of us. It acts as a trixter-psychopomp, who if we listen carefully, can reveal to us the untold richness of the liquid gold that burns in the deepest realms of the collective unconscious; and it is the Shadow Self who can show us that we are who we think we are not, who we think we cannot be.””

Sure, I told you. It was one of the Jungian archetypes—one of the symbols of the collective unconscious…” quote by Justin Evans](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e8d/justin-evans-65587_collective-unconscio_and-i-said-to-myself-aha-george-used-to_2932905.jpg)
