Can you recommend me some books that speak of language and the collective unconscious, and how are they tied?
Like we humans have language inheritly tied to our nature do to our subconscious togetherness? I need more information on this.
Jung is a good place to start. Don't Mary-Louise Von Franz. Comparative Mythology is good too, Joseph Campbell, Mircea Eliade.

Completely wrong. I could recommend at my own expense, so I obviously won't do that. You are not on the right track, I'll tell you that much.

This. It's out there, but you should start with something a little more... basic. You don't find enlightenment, it stalks you in the dark and mugs you.

it's not language that's human nature so much as the need/want to better describe and communicate ideas and feelings, imo. language is just a secondary process, like how eating food relates to being alive. humans are on a constant inevitable self-exploratory journey, both inwardly and outwardly, and its hard to make progress in either direction without having something concrete to relate all of your thoughts to, so we use this hole in our face to make sounds that represent those thoughts. makes getting shit done a lot easier

Stirner was full of shit. /lit/ patricians just use his idea of 'spooks' as a thin veneer to cover their own insecurity when presented with the reality that there are worlds of which they are ignorant.

That was a typo, I meant to say "Don't forget"

>collective unconscious'
You've got Jung, Campbell and Eliade. Don't trend into the downward spiral of new-age though, it is a fine line,
great thread everyone
