ABSTRACT
The idea of the arche-type means the ruling or commanding typos that creates the fundamental psychic patterns. Despite acknowledgement of the linear movement of historical time, for Jung, the psyche was more deeply rooted in a-temporality. It is precisely here that Jung blocks his own insights. For again, he turns from the negation of disenchantment, thereby turning from the temporality of modernity. A lot of Jungian psychology does not heed Jung's call to better stay with 'the cold light of consciousness'. Jung's feeling of shame consequent on the cathedral experience is but the twin of the logical shamelessness which underlines our 'general psychological attitude'. The suffering of shame by the ego-personality turned the negation of disillusionment against the self-image on the ontic level, hence avoiding the trauma of the historical rupture at the ontological level. Shame sought to remind Jung of the dialectic that had been broken off: to go on thinking.
