Often in the case of these sudden transformations one can prove that an archetype has been at work for a long time in the unconscious, skilfully arranging circumstances that will unavoidably lead to a crisis.
In many instances, radical changes in individuals or situations can be traced back to long-standing archetypes operating in the unconscious mind. These archetypes subtly influence thoughts and behaviors, shaping circumstances over time to eventually culminate in a significant crisis. This suggests that our deeper psychological frameworks play a crucial role in guiding our lives, often without our conscious awareness.
C.G. Jung's exploration of this concept highlights the profound connection between our unconscious mind and our experiences. When these archetypes come to the forefront, they signal a moment of transformation. Jung implies that by understanding these underlying forces, we can gain insights into our crises and the potential for personal growth that arises from them.
