This project explores the significant role of the unconscious in the development of human personality and in the quest for spiritual development and fulfillment. The method of research is historical and begins with a survey of some literature regarding the origins of consciousness from the unconscious. A study of the human personality according to C G Jung is presented to provide a framework for describing the dynamics of the human personality, conscious and unconscious. A chapter on dreams, symbols and religious experience locates their origins in the unconscious and studies their significance for personal and spiritual development. A brief history of western Christian spirituality is surveyed, indicating a reverence for the unconscious as a source of spiritual growth and personal integration. The spiritual journey foster s a symbolic level of consciousness in order to attach a symbolic meaning to religion, scripture, church, dogma and ritual. This is the foundation for Christian spirituality as the twenty-first century approaches.
