A comprehensive analysis, comparison and summary of some archetypes of the mind found within various religions from across the world and various scientific practices. A convergence of views. In the complex interplay between religion and science, archetypes serve as fundamental constructs that transcend individual belief systems and scientific paradigms. This research book aims to explore the archetypal nature embedded within both religion and science, offering a comprehensive framework to understand their shared symbolic and structural elements. Archetypes, as first conceptualized by Carl Jung, are universal, archaic symbols and images that derive from the collective unconscious. These motifs recur across various cultures and historical epochs, manifesting in myths, dreams, and artistic expressions.
