[edit] Phrasing
Unless I'm missing some grammar here, up top, in "indivisible Soul, of which", is "of" refering to included? It sould be either "in", or "included" should be "part". --Hoverfish 18:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Could "non-Abrahamic interpretation Emerson's use of the term" be "non-Abrahamic Emerson's interpretaion of the term" for simplicity? --Hoverfish 18:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
My correction "identification" could also be "identifying itself". The last sentence of the paragraph has no clear subject, i.e. ",while reality experienced in the present, ..., perceives itself as the One indivisible totality". It is true that the Over-soul IS Reality, but in this portion of the sentence the equation is made in an indirect way. It also lives open "reality experienced in the present"-by whom? Could it be "while reality experienced by the individualized soul in the present, unemcombered by past impressions (the unconditioned or liberated mind), is perceived as the One indivisible totality." --Hoverfish 19:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC) --This could also be "while the Over-soul experiencing the present, unencombered by past impressions (...), perceives Itself as..." -- Hoverfish 20:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jung
In stricktly Freudian terms, "collective unconscious" would not fit here. Yet Jung distanced himself from Freud in many metaphysical or spiritual matters. I do not know which book of Jung's you are refering (reference would be good, actually) and I currently don't have "The Four Archetypes", but I think in this book he went in big detail about this.
