Forgetting turns the dark on. Forgetting allows for embodiment because it allows us to forget we are immortal and non-physical, so we can pretend to be mortal, embodied humans. Our very existence in this world is because we entered a place where there is darkness … where we can forget all that we are and be the focus of our wider self.

In October of the same year, Jung presented two talks to the Psychological Club. The first was titled “Adaptation.” This took two forms: adaptation to outer and inner conditions. The “inner” was understood to designate the unconscious. Adaptation to the “inner” led to the demand for individuation, which was contrary to adaptation to others.
