Trans person theories (Part 4)

No comments

Analytical theory of Carl Jung.
Jung based his theory, building on the legacy of Freud. Personality is built of three main components. Two of them will be discussed in the framework of the post, the third one - a separate topic worthy of honors.
The first component is called "Ego" and represents the center of the sphere of consciousness. Its symbol is a collective image of all those thoughts, feelings, memories and feelings by which we feel that we are us. Roughly speaking, it is our consciousness, in the broadest sense of the word. Ego acts as the foundation of our identity, and thanks to him we are able to see the results of their normal conscious activity. Turning to the scope of transhumanism, we can say that this component is of particular importance in the preservation of identity. In cloning, the transference of consciousness in the car or regeneration after cryopreservation, it is responsible for this component of our personality.

The second component of "personal unconscious." It houses the conflicts and memories that once confessed, but now suppressed or forgotten. It includes those sensory impressions, which lacks brightness to be marked in the mind. The personal unconscious contains complexes or clusters of emotionally charged thoughts, feelings and memories made by the individual of his past personal experience or from the birth, hereditary experience. 
According to the ideas of Jung, these complexes are arranged around the most common, can have a strong influence on the behavior of the individual. For example, a person with a complex power may spend a significant amount of mental energy for activities directly or symbolically linked to the theme of power. The same may be true with respect to a person who is under the strong influence of his mother, father, or under the authority of money, sex, or any other kinds of complexes. Once formed, the complex begins to affect a person's behavior and his attitude. Jung argued that the material of the personal unconscious, each of us is unique and, as a rule, available to awareness. As a result, the components of the complex or even the entire complex can be realized and have too strong influence on the life of the individual. This segment is curious, as a source of increased knowledge. With the acceleration of the brain, it may be possible to gain access to information that is transmitted genetically, but because of their insignificance, is not used by the body. In a culture, a similar effect can be seen in a series of games "Assassin’s Creed", where the protagonist travels to the memory of their ancestors, directly experiencing them experience and learn new skills and knowledge.
