5 Signs You’re Tapping into the Collective Unconscious

Have you ever felt connected to a shared source of wisdom, as though you’re receiving insights that aren’t entirely your own? This could be the collective unconscious—a deep, universal field of shared human knowledge and archetypes. Here are 5 signs that you’re tapping into the collective unconscious and how to harness its guidance.

1. You’re Drawn to Universal Symbols

You find recurring symbols in your life—like circles, trees, or spirals—that seem to hold a deeper meaning. These archetypes are part of the shared language of the collective unconscious.

2. You Feel Inspired by Common Themes in Stories

Whether it’s mythology, movies, or books, certain narratives resonate deeply with you, as though they’re echoing truths you’ve always known.

3. Your Dreams Reflect Ancient or Archetypal Imagery

Your dreams include powerful, timeless images like heroes, wise mentors, or transformative journeys. These symbols often carry messages from the collective unconscious.

4. You Experience Profound Empathy for Others’ Struggles

You feel an unexplainable connection to the challenges or emotions of people you don’t even know, sensing that their experiences are also part of your own.

5. You Feel a Pull Toward Something Bigger Than Yourself

You’re drawn to ideas or causes that connect humanity, sensing that your actions contribute to a greater whole beyond your individual life.

Working with the Nodes for Support

To deepen your connection to the collective unconscious, work with the Northwest Node (Lichtlück) and East Node (Vitstok) for insight and resilience.

1. Northwest Node (Lichtlück): Unity and Intuition

• Activity: Meditate on archetypal images that resonate with you, such as the Hero’s Journey or the Tree of Life. Reflect on what these symbols mean for your current path.

• Craft Tip: Create an artistic piece (painting, collage, or sculpture) using universal symbols that inspire you.

2. East Node (Vitstok): Resilience and Beginnings

• Activity: Journal about moments when you’ve felt connected to a larger story or cause. How did those experiences shape your perspective?

• Craft Tip: Design a personal symbol or sigil that represents your unique connection to the collective unconscious.

Why It Matters

Tapping into the collective unconscious offers profound wisdom and a sense of belonging to humanity’s shared story. By embracing these insights and working intentionally with them, you can align more deeply with your purpose and the greater whole.
