The collective unconscious
is a concept of Jung's analytical psychology, denoting a
set of universal unconscious mental structures,
mechanisms, archetypes, instincts, impulses, images, etc.
inherited by people, transmitted from generation to
generation as a substrate of mental being, including the
mental experience of previous generations.

Jung believed that at the moment of strong love, we encounter our own
internal archetypes. The classic of psychoanalysis explained the
incredible fascination with another person by the unconscious
projection of the so-called anima or animus on the partner. That is, we
see ourselves in the object of passion — and attribute our features to
him or her. In fact, love at first sight is an unexpected meeting with
yourself

Deja vu
is a mental state in which a person feels that he has already been in a similar situation
or in a similar place, however, when experiencing such a feeling, he usually cannot,
despite its strength, associate this "memory" with a specific moment from the past.
Science recognizes two types of deja vu: the pathological, usually associated with
epilepsy, and the non-pathological type characteristic of healthy people, of whom
about two-thirds had experience of deja vu.
Jung believed that deja vu is a kind of "ancestral memory" or "memory of a past life"
and the result of reincarnation.

The immediate recognition of certain symbols and the
meanings of certain myths
could all be understood as the sudden conjunction of our outer reality and the inner reality of
the collective unconscious. Grander examples are the creative experiences shared by artists and
musicians all over the world and in all times, or the spiritual experiences of mystics of all
religions, or the parallels in dreams, fantasies, mythologies, fairy tails, and literature.

Near-death experience
Many people, of many different cultural backgrounds, find that they have very similar
recollections when they are brought back from a close encounter with death. They speak of
leaving their bodies, seeing their bodies and the events surrounding them clearly, of being
pulled through a long tunnel towards a bright light, of seeing deceased relatives or religious
figures waiting for them , and of their disappointment at having to leave this happy scene to
return to their bodies.
