Collective Unconscious and Species

As has been previously discussed, Jung's concept of a Collective Unconscious is ungrounded--his model of a multiplicity of subconsciousnesses is inadequate to their unification.  Now, occasionally suggested in his theory is that the collective that he has in mind is the Species.  Accordingly, on that basis, a Psyche can be attributed to the species, under the guidance of e. g. a Survival principle, with respect to which the Psyches of its members are its parts.  There then emerges the possibility of an 'unconsciousness' in the case of each member--an unawareness that one is, in fact, not a mere 'individual', but, at all times, an individual member of the species.  Such an unawareness, pervasively patent in everyday experience, especially in a society that promotes 'Individualism', is comparable to Heidegger's concept of 'Forgetting'.  However, it is uncertain that this Unconsciousness is, like the latter, Ontologically inevitable.  And, it is uncertain that Jung would accept it, since it would transform his principle of Individuation to a principle of Diversification.  Regardless, without the modification that it entails, i. e. that the 'collective' of the Collective Unconsciousness is the species, the concept is structually problematic.
