Thanks for your response.

We've had similar debates as this before, so you won't be surprised that I disagree with you. You speak as if you are some kind of ultimate authority, whereas I of course would say that you are merely expressing your opinions.

I'll extract a couple of points.

Where does Jung describe feelings as mystical or sacred states? I'm only aware of him describing feeling as one of the four functions of consciousness (at the level of personality at the material level).

About the archetypes. As you say, Jung was ambiguous on this. He was constantly rethinking and revising his conception, so was being careful not to make any definitive statements. I don't know for sure, but am not aware that he ever came to a definite conclusion, although I agree that his assumptions were primarily non-physical.
