Before we get into a digression about who saw what and when, and what could it have meant, it might be useful to look at the idea that there is some kind of collective function in which we all participate. Society is only one example. Jung suggested that this idea leads us back to a common collective experience in our primal past. That's the same past as the Bible, its critics, and all of us share, together with various worms and crawly critters.

If you ike the Big Bang, then maybe this is a way to look at it - In the beginning there was a single point event, and it expanded its nature, diversifying into all the wonderful funiture of space and time and the Taoist's "ten thousand things". We are among those diversified projections of the one initial event. Thus, we are all the same as the initial event, but extended into various viewpoint of how it might look. Our individuality has developed  out of that single common experience, which is the collective unconscious of Jiung, as well as the historical background from which our world has emerged.

Other than issues of how stuff emerges, Jung's model is like all the others.  So is the Revelations approach, Harner's recall, your own ability to reall past lives, and the inner world of spiritul events in which we go about rescuing earthbound spooks.
