Here’s a clean, high-level snapshot of Carl Jung’s “final visions” period (mainly from Memories, Dreams, Reflections and accounts from his last years):
1. Life as a completed pattern
He felt his life had formed a meaningful whole — like a design finally visible from above rather than from inside it.
2. Death as transformation, not annihilation
He described dying less as an ending and more as a shift of state — a continuation of psyche beyond the personal ego.
3. The soul’s independence from the body
In later reflections (including his 1944 near-death experience), he sensed consciousness could exist apart from physical form.
4. Earth seen from cosmic distance
He reported a vision of viewing Earth from space, which made personal concerns seem tiny compared to a vast, ordered cosmos.
5. Encounter with a great temple or structure
He described approaching a monumental, sacred space — symbolizing entry into a deeper level of reality or the collective psyche.
6. Dissolution of the ego
He suggested the personal “I” fades, while a deeper, more universal self remains — aligned with his idea of the Self archetype.
7. Unity of opposites
Life/death, light/dark, matter/spirit felt like paired aspects of a single underlying reality rather than conflicts.
8. Meaning over morality
In the end, he emphasized not moral perfection but whether one had lived in alignment with one’s inner truth (individuation).
9. Time felt non-linear
He hinted that from the psyche’s perspective, past and future coexist — echoing his interest in synchronicity.
10. Profound peace and detachment
His tone in later accounts carries calm acceptance, even curiosity, rather than fear — as if returning to a larger home.
If you want, I can connect each of these to Jungian concepts like the Self, individuation, or archetypes — that’s where it gets really interesting.
