john betts is an zürich trained jungian analyst.
i didnt care to go through all books and articles from jung to search one quote(you apparently did, as you claim that the quote doesent exist), so i just looked up a quote which i remember where it is. i suggest you to go learn more jung and it will become obvious to you too. i think most people will see it as obvious that if something is organized and is a part of a bigger system, the organized part can be called a structure within the bigger system. seriously im starting to doubt whether you are an INTP or not, because this sort of logic should come naturally for INTP..
You're assuming that archetypes are pre-organized, but organizing is functional. Archetypes are no more than empty forms waiting to be filled with content, thus lending them organization. Learn the distinction between form and structure.
"In this sense Plato sees the idea [archetype] as a primordial image of things, while Kant defines it as the 'archetype of the use of the mind.' (548) Both Kant and Plato were concerned with forms of things, although transcendentally, in opposite senses.
And while it's true that even the imagination cannot roam the infinite, but "remains bound to the preformed possibilities, the primordial images or archetypes," (378) those are merely formal conditions, not structures in the mind.
