Summary/Abstract: The Process of Achieving the Self Archetype from the Perspective of Analytical Psychology (Towards Understanding the Concept of God-Man). This article is dedicated to Jung’s notion of the individuation process which is inseparable from his idea of Soul as a harmonious and dynamic wholeness of self. The individuation process pursues its own objectives and places specific demands on human being in a course of his or her life. Ultimately it tries to integrate different components of soul – the complexes – into one organic unit. The individuation process manifest itself as spontaneous vital activity but generally it is a very problematic and enigmatic phenomenon because it raises from confrontation between outside and inside influences of human Psyche. This article also puts emphasis on Jung’s notion of God-Man.
