BTW Jung was a contemporary and colleague of Sigmund Freud.

The two of them are considered 19th century geniuses who ushered in the fields
of psychology and psychiatry.

Jung's collective unconscious is the concept of a shared, inherited psychological foundation for all humanity, distinct from the personal unconscious. It is a deep universal layer of the mind. It contains the history, mythology, wisdom from our ancestors over the millennia.
It contains all the archetypes, history, culture, values, etc. These themes echo over
and over in our dreams, literature, laws, values, etc.

It is one explanation for why it appears that cultures in the past separated by vast distances independently came up with major inventions, thoughts, laws, etc. And why humans seem connected by a shared value system, inventions, goals, etc.

Jung did not conceive of the CU as a physical entity. Just like the personal consciousness
is not a physical entity. So it would not be subject to laws of gravity.

I do not know if Jung thought of CU as pertinent to Earth only or if it extended out into the universe. I don't know if he thought about alien being consciousness or not.
