Jung writes: “Part of the unconscious consists of a multitude of temporarily obscured thoughts, impressions, and images that, in spite of being lost, continue to influence our conscious mind.” Thus, we learn and create through experience. Even writing a novel based on a fictitious world relies upon elements of experience e.g. characters drawn from people on the television, parts of the story line borrowed from other novels. There are limitless twists to a tale, but there will always be some elements that are common, shared and/or attributable to experience.
