I agree with what you said about Freud too, you know :)  

But your reasoning in defense of the existence of the collective
unconscious is the same kind of reasoning that validates astronomy,
numerology, and Freudian psychoanalysis.  The "evidence" you offered can
be explained a number of different ways--the question you should be
asking is, "Why should I believe it's an expression of a collective
unconscious rather than something else?"

The problem I have with the idea is that it's essentially a religious
concept being passed off as a scientific one.  It's only something we
could attain through some kind of revelation, and I just don't have that
kind of faith in Jung.
