Here it is an illustration of the interconnection of human minds, as conceived by Jung.
The conscious minds of individuals seem separated, as islands are separated by the ocean. Below the 'surface' each individual has a personal unconscious mind that is similarly isolated. But at the deepest level each mind merges with the collective unconscious - a shared racial memory that unites individuals as the ocean floor links the world's islands.
