unconscious

Creativeness comes partly out of the unconscious, i.e., is a healthy regression, a temporary turning away from the real world.

Abraham Maslow

The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good: not only dark but also light, not only bestial, semihuman, and demonic but superhuman, spiritual, and, in the classical sense of the word, ‘divine.’

—Carl Jung

The conscious mind allows itself to be trained like a parrot, but the unconscious does not — which is why St. Augustine thanked God for not making him responsible for his dreams.
