This leads to a restoration or apocatastasis of the lives of her ancestors
The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious (Collected Works of C.G. Jung Vol.9 Part 1)
The psyche pre-existent to consciousness (e.g., in the child) participates in the maternal psyche on the one hand, while on the other it reaches across to the daughter psyche.
We could therefore say that every mother contains her daughter in herself and every daughter her mother, and that every woman extends backwards into her mother and forwards into her daughter.
This participation and intermingling give rise to that peculiar uncertainty as regards time: a woman lives earlier as a mother, later as a daughter.
The conscious experience of these ties produces the feeling that her life is spread out over generations—the first step towards the immediate experience and conviction of being outside time, which brings with it a feeling of immortality.
The individual’s life is elevated into a type, indeed it becomes the archetype of woman’s fate in general.
This leads to a restoration or apocatastasis of the lives of her ancestors, who now, through the bridge of the momentary individual, pass down into the generations of the future.
An experience of this kind gives the individual a place and a meaning in the life of the generations, so that all unnecessary obstacles are cleared out of the way of the life stream that is to flow through her.
At the same time the individual is rescued from her isolation and restored to wholeness. ~Carl Jung, CW 9i, Para 316
