How does Jung explain the disappearance & re-appearance of objects to Pooh? Below is a fictional account.
Pooh: “Why do I see a metallic cigar flying in the sky? It sometimes disappears and then reappears!”
Jung: “Its like a U.F.O. It disappears with evaporation. When it condenses, it re-appears.”
Pooh: “Why is the UFO shaped like a cigar?”
Jung:”Like Freud used to say, the energy of the viewer influences the appearance of the object seen. If the energy gravitates towards the shape of a cigar, then the object seen looks like a cigar.”
This is a way of explaining that you will see the shape of a UFO if you have a preconceived idea of what the definition of a UFO is.
Pooh was outdoors when he saw a metal cigar-like object flying in the sky.
