would the head center be analogous to the Jungian collective unconscious?

Jung's collective unconscious
The head nor the mind really makes anything up. It's the head center is a pressure that feeds the raw material to the Ajna to be hammered out into thought forms. The stuff is never "made up" as opposed to "inherited". "Inherited" may need a broader understanding to see what Jung meant by this concept.
There is also our dream state. When we are asleep we actually have a diferent rave, called a Dream Rave. During this time we do hook up to the collective unconscious and our dreams are exactly that. So a dream you have might not have much meaning in your life but if shared could mean something to somebody else. In that sense they are archtypal. I don't focus on this aspect but maybe there is somebody out there who has more to add on this.
collective unconscious
One distingushing facter regarding Jungs version of Collective unconscious is that its contents have never been a part of conscious personal experience. The collective gates in particular tap into past personal experiences that may have at one time been conscious, as in dreaming of friends or relatives, to come up again from the unconscious. Also, the Head Center is part of the Individual circuit group as well as the Collective. Though this is clearly where we tap into the collective unconscious at the level of thought and images, the Head center is not analogous to Jung's version. In Jungian terms the collective unconscious is made of archetypes that are inherited, not made up. I like to correlate his archetypes with the archetypes(gates) of the bodygraph. The bodygraph is a model of our psyche, where we can see the archetypal processes at work through the centers and circuits. The collective unconscious is found throughout the Bodygraph.
