I have made decisions in the past that seemed counterproductive, but on reflection there was a reason for making such choices.
Was it my unconscious Self taking over or was it just how the dice rolled?
Hard to say, but I reckon Jung did see a lot of fateful things happening around him.
He warned the world before both WW1 and WW2 about the fate Europe would experience if things did not change. History shows he was on the ball.
The prelude to World War II provoked even more explicit warnings from Jung, based on his analysis of dreams of his German patients; "I had caught hold of certain collective dreams of Germans," he said.
I saw Nietzsche's blonde beast looming up, with all that it implies. I felt sure that Christianity would be challenged and that the Jews would be taken to account--- from a lecture he gave in London in 1936 on the political situation in Germany.
Just three years later the world witnessed just how low German civilization had fallen, with the start of World War II, the Holocaust, the loss of millions of lives, and the upending of the old world order.
