All that is experienced by the observer is self-created including the observer itself.
Unexpected surprises are just the opposite of the expected, opposition which is needed for the understanding of determinacy found in expectation. "Surprises" are self created and consequently understood consciously as part of the unconscious of self if understood truly, or consciously understood as part of an 'external' reality if understood falsely. False understanding is possible because if this is projected as something not self-created it can so be put down as just another opposite needed for the understanding of being; yet if it weren't archetypes of our own, we'd never perceive them at all; therefore we create them.
The archetypes do not exist as pre-established (in the Jungian sense), and therefore do not form a basis for 'possible' understanding, (which would be the same as an external reality limiting our freedom of creation) we create the archetypes in the act of framing objects of archetypes. Therefore we create all we exist amidst, freely, infinitely & totally; limited only by the necessity of dialectical opposition.
