Understanding this quote
The speaker describes personal myths as part of a much larger store of unconscious material. Each person’s inner story is like an island: only part of it is visible, while hidden connections beneath the surface link it to other people’s inner stories. The image suggests that private experience can also share deeper patterns with the experiences of others.
