Collective vs individual

I have so much on my mind today.
So I will just continue.

Now it is back on the Jungian trail. I know I said that I wanted to talk about abundance.
But I will wait a little bit with it. Feel I need to work more on that.

Now Jung pitted many opposites up against each other.
Some are known by most, some are not really in the scope of conciousness.

Now the real crux of the matter is always the clash of the collective vs the individual.
Now this happens on a lot of levels.
All the cognitive functions of Jung are a representation of such collective or individual stances.

I touched upon unity vs seperateness, that is the neverevding theme her.
But as I said on one level you might side with the collective on another level with individualism.

Take science. It is a very collective thing isn't it?
The collective representation of human knowledge.
as
Culture is the collective representation of a societies values.
as
Religion is the collective representation of peoples beliefs.
as
Objective sensuality* is the collective representation of sense impressions.

*This can be debated as a collective object,but I do belive that
the perception of reality as a sensation object needs to be recognized
as a collective force.

Now science uses empiricism, culture uses norms, religion uses morals
and objective sensation uses unsensoured sensations.

How is it used? It is used to make the individual follow suit.
And for each of these there excist a marked individual force,
with a clear distaste of the collective nature of each of these.

That is where a lot of our conflict stem from in our society.
Not all mind you, there are other forces as work too.

Society goes trough stages of acceptance or rejection of each of these forces.
This is easy to observe when you move from contry to contry and watch
how different societies have different levels of expression on what is okay or not okay
to embrace as an individual and as a collective.

Jung stated that there are 4 functions and they either embrace the object in
an extroverted manner or they reject it in an introverted manner.

Hence we have
Te = collective knowledge.
Fe = collective values.
Ne = collective icons/symbols
Se = collective sensuality

Oops forgot the introverted ones... XD

Ti = individual knowledge
Fi = individual values
Ni = individual icons/symbols
Si = individual sensuality

I know I've dumped a load on you today.
Especially if you aren't too familiar with Jungs types.
Hopefully it will be understandable enough. ;)
