It’s all in your head, Carl

Of Carl Jung’s red book, this site (http://gnosis.org/redbook/) quotes Jung:

In 1944 Jung suffered a nearly fatal pulmonary embolism and heart attack.  For three weeks he floated between life and death.  During these weeks he had several transformative visions: 

“It is impossible to convey the beauty and intensity of emotion during those visions. They were the most tremendous things I have ever experienced. I would never have imagined that any such experience was possible. It was not a product of imagination. The visions and experiences were utterly real; there was nothing subjective about them; they all had a quality of absolute objectivity.”

Sorry Carl, it’s all in your head.  Hallucinations are a door into your unconscious mind, but anything “collective” comes from what one has learned in life.  There is nothing universal or transformative that is being revealed.   

To all those who try to make more of it than that (prophetic, archetypes, ... ) I suggest doing some mind altering drugs and getting back to me.   That would give you a hint.   What I experienced was way beyond what any mere drug could do.   Active, seeing and hearing hallucinations.  The most intense completely disconnected with reality,  and some lesser that incorporated some aspects 

of reality.
