Becoming 'whole'

TavsTavs Leeds Explorer
in Buddhism Basics

The Jungian idea that everyone's mind is fragmented and each part needs to be integrated and 'made whole', where does that fit into Buddhism? Does it fit into Buddhism?

    In Buddhism, we may call this centered.

    Maybe its like bringing awareness to the workings of our mind? The patterns that make us up have greater control when we're unaware of them. Seeing them and bringing them into conscious awareness allows us to be less reactive and more responsive.

    I’ve come across this idea of parts in integral family systems (see here) but not in relation to Buddhism or to Jung for that matter.

    The Buddhist concept of 'Mind', is not just a head based knowing...
    Jung was an alchemist primarily (one of my hobbies)
