Jung, UFOs, and the Mandala: Archetypes, Wholeness, and Modern Collective Anxiety
To the point
Carl Jung argues that UFO stories reveal shared patterns in people's minds—archetypes from the collective unconscious—that express society’s fears and the longing for wholeness, with the mandala symbolizing a pull toward unity, and that recognizing and integrating these images through personal growth can help individuals resist conformity and contribute to empathy, creativity, and constructive social change.
