•Archetypes can often convey messages that verbal and written information cannot. Seeing something as simple as a clock, meaning time, or a man in black, hinting that he is evil.
•Primordial: That is, we, as individuals, have these archetypal images ingrained in our understanding even before we are born.
•The American Dream
•“All the most powerful ideas in history go back to archetypes. This is particularly true of religious ideas, but the central concepts of science, philosophy, and ethics are no exception to this rule. In their present form they are variants of archetypal ideas created by consciously applying and adapting these ideas to reality. For it is the function of consciousness not only to recognize and assimilate the external world through the gateway of the senses, but to translate into visible reality the world within us.” – Carl Jung
