The Role of Spirit in Organizing Inner Images

Spirit is the factor responsible for creating and organizing images in the inner field of vision into a meaningful order. These images, arising from the unconscious, progressively lead us forward in understanding and growth. By following these organized images into the future, the spirit guides us intelligently. Jung's emphasis on the spirit is not based on something mystical, but on how our inner imagery propels us forward as it contains an innate intelligence. While Jung is not the only one to discuss this concept, his approach stands out as it focuses on the innermost depths, similar to the idea of the Holy Spirit in Christianity. Jung disregards the religious aspect and instead prioritizes understanding the functionality of this inner guiding force.
