“I argue that man is born already equipped with a highly differentiated and comprehensively developed brain, whose innumerable attributes often create antagonism. Most people still believe that all of their daily mental responses are influenced by their environment. Few people know anything about the generic soul and even less believe in it.
But aren't we all the bearers of human history? Why is it so hard to believe that each of us has two souls?
Collective and personal soul
When a person is at the age of fifty, then only one part of his being has a half-century history. The other part, which also lives in his psyche, may have a history of millions of years. Every newborn child came into this world with a fully formed brain. Although in the early stages of his life the mind does not yet gain complete mastery over the body and its manifestation in the external world, it obviously has the potential to do so. Such mental structures exert their influence and throughout life remain decisive for a person's thinking.
A newborn does not start developing his brain from the very first day of his birth. His mind, a ready-made structure, is the result of countless lives that came before him and he is far from devoid of content. It is unlikely that we will ever be able to penetrate into the distant past, which reaches the collective unconscious of man.
There is no doubt that a person's personal psyche develops only during his lifetime, and that the environment and education are decisive factors in this process. These influences take effect from the first day of a child's life. In general, the receptivity of a tiny child's brain is generally underestimated, but the practicing psychologist has frequent evidence to the contrary.
When working with neurotics in identifying mental defects, experiences often emerge that can be dated to the earliest childhood. It often happens that the experience received by a child in the cradle has a significant impact on his entire life.

Two souls give rise to frequent contradictions in human thinking and feeling. Quite often, the collective and personal soul is even in direct opposition. There are hundreds of examples in the work of any psychologist that demonstrate that two souls live in every person. For example, in the realization of imagination - I call this the mother of human consciousness, many of my patients painted pictures and told dreams that reflect strange correspondences, certain patterns, as well as peculiar parallels with Indian and Chinese temple painting. And how could these people get knowledge about the ancient temple culture in the Far East? I have treated patients who had visions of events that happened hundreds of years ago.
All this can only come from the collective unconscious, the impersonal soul, already imprisoned in the brain of the newborn. Modern man is only the last ripe fruit on the tree of the human race. None of us know what we really know.
