88 On Becoming Conscious<br />
stuff of myth and religion—a vast historical warehouse. Under <strong>the</strong><br />
right circumstances, any of this, at any time, can become conscious.<br />
<strong>Jung</strong> writes:<br />
Everything of which I know, but of which I am not at <strong>the</strong> moment<br />
thinking; everything of which I was once conscious but have now<br />
<strong>for</strong>gotten; everything perceived by my senses, but not noted by my<br />
conscious mind; everything which, involuntarily and without paying<br />
attention to it, I feel, think, remember, want, and do; all <strong>the</strong> future<br />
things that are taking shape in me and will sometime come to consciousness:<br />
all this is <strong>the</strong> content of <strong>the</strong> unconscious. 78<br />
And that is why, in spite of our best ef<strong>for</strong>ts, we will all, always, be<br />
more or less unconscious.<br />
