"Dr. Jung has suggested that each human being has originally a feeling for wholeness,a powerful and complete sense of the Self.And from the Self-the totality of the psyche-the individualized ego-consciousness emerges as the individual grows up"-Man and his symbols.

Isn't this similar to the karmic notion of Brahman.? What if the Rishis on intense self-enquiry reverted to this original state and enamored by it give it godly status. If this was true as a whole(ie.before the universe was formed) then necessarily the karmic wheel cannot be true because until the Atman is pure "it" will not realise the Self. How could an atman on each rebirth realise the Self again and again before falling into maya? Thoughts
