A greater clarification of Jung’s more or less conventional position on the personal unconscious comes in the 1927 essay ‘The structure of the psyche’ (Jung 1927). The personal unconscious consists firstly of all those contents that became unconscious either because they lost their intensity and were forgotten or because consciousness was withdrawn from them (repression), and secondly of contents, some of them sense-impressions, which never had sufficient intensity to reach consciousness but have somehow entered the psyche. (Jung 1927: par. 321)
