"..I have called this “potential” psyche the collective unconscious. If this layer is activated by the regressive libido, there is a possibility of life being renewed, and also of its being destroyed. Regression carried to its logical conclusion means a linking back with the world of natural instincts, which in its formal or ideal aspect is a kind of *prima materia.*
If this *prima materia* can be assimi- lated by the conscious mind it will bring about a reactivation and reorganization of its contents."
