Thank you so much for posting this. I've always been a Jungian - (never Freud
;)
He addresses so many aspects of life, war, death and the psyche here.
Question: "Do you believe in....?" Jung answers: "When I know a thing, I don't
need to believe". .....
He didn't leave much room for belief even when he didn't know something.
Right. He relied on reason and empirical and personal evidence.

So, we agree, Jung might have been correct. But, what about Freud?
They both posited the unconscious: Freud viewed the unconscious solely
as a repository of repressed, often sexual, experiences. Jung argued it
was also a source of creativity and contained the collective unconscious.
That is the other half of the situation. Being Karl does not make him
wrong, and being Jung (not freud) does not make him right.

For Jung, archetypes appear as universal figures or themes, such as the >Mother, the Hero, the Shadow, or the Wise Old Man, in various cultures--

Right. He relied on reason and empirical and personal evidence.
I don't believe - I either know or I know that I don't know.

So, we agree, Jung might have been correct. But, what about Freud?
They both posited the unconscious: Freud viewed the unconscious solely
as a repository of repressed, often sexual, experiences. Jung argued it
was also a source of creativity and contained the collective unconscious.
Unconscious mind is common to all human beings and consists of
universal, symbolic patterns known as archetypes.
