In fact, despite a revived belief in the world, I have never completely freed myself from the impression that “life” is a fragment of existence, which takes place in a three-dimensional world system reserved for this purpose. (Carl Gustav Jung: “Memories, dreams, thoughts.” His autobiography, 1961)
What Happened in 1961? A Year of Transformation?
What happened in 1961, can you still remember? I know I was born in that year, but beyond that. I looked it up on the internet. Here are the most important facts from that year: In the first place: My birth, then the fact that the Berlin Wall was erected, there was also a failed invasion in the Bay of Pigs in Cuba, and the launch of a rocket with the first man to space took place (the Russian Yuri Gagarin). Quite a number of important things in my opinion, but it was also the year that Carl Gustav Jung died. Carl Gustav Jung, the man who, together with Sigmund Freud, gave us more content and meaning as human beings, in my eyes. She and a few others taught us to look at ourselves and those others differently.
The Subconscious Mind: A Deeper RealityourParallel World?
Jung, a great supporter of Friedrich Nietzsche who, like him, taught and studied at the University of Basel, and also followed the ideas of, among others: Arthur Schopenhauer, Immanuel Kant, Fyodor Dostoevsky and the aforementioned Sigmund Freud. People who believed that there was more than was known to mankind about our inner life. Jung wrote: “I have never completely freed myself from the impression that ‘life’ is a fragment of existence, which takes place in a three-dimensional world system reserved for this purpose”, in his Autobiography. Never freed from which three-dimensional world, what was Jung talking about?
Are Movies Like the Matrix, Avatar, and Star Wars Glimpses of Other Worlds?
Is Carl Gustav talking about Anima or Animus here? Is he talking about visions or events that he thinks equal reality? We will never know for sure, but we can and may guess. The fact is that a certain part of the psychiatric body of thought today is still based on the thoughts of Jung. Is life a dream, or is it reality? How accurate was the cinema hit “The Matrix” in 1999? Do you also recognize the things that you have seen before in your life, have those things also happened to you later in life? Could it be that we see things in the beginning or during our lives that later become our destiny?

Nietzsche, Jung & the Cost of Looking Too Deep Within
Do you also remember the old neighbour from your childhood with rheumatism, who could hardly move around her house, and the same thing happens to you now? Did you see an accident coming just before it actually happened to you? Or have you ever taken that action that everyone advised against you, and it was indeed not a success? Do we live in the present, or do we live in a dream? Are the films Avatar (2009), Lord off The Rings (2001), Star Wars (1977) and or The Matrix (1999) images from other worlds in which we actually live? Can we see our other worlds through those films? Are dreams not deception, but everyday reality? Is the cinema like the view master we owned as a child?
Do We Live in the Past, Present, or a Loop of Visualized Realities?
Did Jung already realize in 1961 that our “reality” comes to us in different ways? He could explain his dreams and visions and place them in reality, just like Nietzsche, Jung could put himself in those other worlds. They could communicate with the people from their own worlds. Jung unmasked Freud, and saw that he lied about his knowledge and skills, but were Nietzsche, Jung, Schopenhauer and Kant, special for their time, or would we call them paranormal today? Are we all paranormal in “reality”, without realizing it? Is our “subconscious” much more “conscious” than we realize?
Do We Live in the Past, Present, or a Loop of Projected Realities?
Nietzsche could no longer save himself once he had turned into “himself”, he could no longer return to our reality and took his own life. Jung could keep jumping back and forth between the worlds that were different to him. According to Jung, to be insane is: “To withdraw into your own subconscious.” Fear our present? Retreat into your Archetype. In the lives of our ancestors, who would have lived on our earth millennia earlier. Are we imagining that? Have there really been previous generations, or do they only exist in our minds? Is there a future, or are we as humans constantly looking at a visualization projected for us? Are we going to “die”, or are we stepping on the set of another film? Who are we and where are we? Isn’t it strange to assume that we are alone in this cinema (planet), and others are not allowed to watch? When does the next movie start that tells us more about our “new” thoughts?
