Reading Jung's Psychology: What is Unconsciousness?

Jung spent his whole life thinking about the unconscious and various mysterious phenomena in life. He said: "My life is a process of unconscious self-realization." So the focus of his whole theory is to use his professional knowledge (psychiatry) to explain the unconscious, to think about the mysterious phenomena of human beings, and to give them a scientific understanding.

So he also studied alchemy, astrology, divination, telepathy, psychic powers, yoga, spiritualism, divination, fortune telling, religious symbols, dreams and other mysterious fields. Because these fields are usually regarded as superstitions, they are often misunderstood, criticized and even attacked by people. This is also an important reason why his theoretical system is obscure and unacceptable.

The so-called unconscious, also known as the subconscious, is invisible, or something unconscious in general.

There are so many things in this world that we can't see, hear or understand. This is the unconscious.

My mother is a grumpy person, but every time she loses her temper, she will regret saying, "I know I shouldn't lose such a big temper, but sometimes this temper can't be helped." This unconscious thing is unconsciousness.

What Mr. Wang Yangming said is the unity of knowing and doing, knowing clearly is impossible, and what is between "knowing" and "doing" is unconscious.
