Carl Jung proposes that this notion, in addition to the individual unconscious (this sphere of the human soul, originating mainly from the suppression of experience, in fact, neglected by the individual in the flow of life), be the collective unconscious.
This is a kind of warehouse of our “racial”, not individual experiments. What the human race avoids in its actual evolution is to some extent encoded in the human body itself, so that instincts and archetypes are passed down from earlier to later generations.
The assumption that there is a collective unconscious is very controversial, but it is a position that Jung has consistently and diligently defended, not entirely in vain.
