>Jung ventured so deep into his unconscious that he had conversations with figments of his imagination, who appeared — as in dreams — to be autonomous entities, possessing knowledge he did not consciously possess. I learned this process from Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich. He recommends discussing important matters with wise people in your imagination (he used presidents and titans of industry). I too have experienced "wisdom greater than my own" in this way. It seems that my hardware is being limited by my software (personality / self-concept).
