"Hence I prefer the term "the unconscious," knowing that I might equally well be speaking of "God" or "daimon" if I wished to express myself in mythic language, I am aware that "mana," "daimon," and "God" are synonyms for the unconscious - that is to say we know just as much or just as little about them as the latter. People only believe they know much more about them - and for certain purposes that belief is far more useful and effective than a scientific concept. The great advantages of the concepts of "daimon" and "God" lies in making possible a much better objectification of the vis-a-vis, namely a personification of it." ~ Carl Jung
