Written three years before his death, The Undiscovered Self combines acuity with concision in masterly fashion and is Jung at his very best. Offering clear and crisp insights into some of his major theories, such as the duality of human nature, the unconscious, human instinct and spirituality, Jung warns against the threats of totalitarianism and political and social propaganda to the free-thinking individual. As timely now as when it was first written, Jung's vision is a salutary reminder of why we should not become passive members of the herd.

We think that only by acquiring more of everything we can free ourselves from the oppressing condition and eventually (finally) become masters of our own life.

On the other hand, though, the weak do need help. And they most commonly seek such from the “perfect”. Even if this is not directly expressed.

His ideas and studies gave origin to analytical psychology; a school of psychology that gives extreme importance to the personal journey of each person and their individuality.[ 1] Published in 1957, The Undiscovered Self is a series of essays written by Jung in which he expresses his discontent and concern with mass-movements, dictatorships, and the sudden insignificance of the individual. Throughout the book, Jung gives thorough examples and makes comparisons to emphasize the importance of individual living, self-knowledge, and to explain the repercussions that mass movements have on the mind of the individual.

Belief is no adequate substitute for inner experience, and where this is absent even a strong faith which came miraculously as a gift of grace may depart equally miraculously. People call faith the true religious experience, but they do not stop to consider that actually it is a secondary phenomenon arising form the fact that something happened to us in the first place which instilled pistis into us — that is, trust and loyalty.” Psychology and Religion The Terry Lectures.
