This study aims to throw light upon the experience of meeting with The Self in “The King and The Slave Girl” From Masnavi by Persian poet Jalal Al-Din Al-Rumi.  This study tries to apply Carl Jung theory of Collective Unconscious. Jung was the first who discovered the presence of the collective unconscious mind in addition to the individual unconscious mind. He believed that men have the power of collective unconscious mind that belongs to the society and the culture they live in. Archetypes constitute the structure of the collective unconscious. The most famous archetypes are Anima (The archetype of female in man), Animus. (The archetype of male in woman), Shadow (The hateful part personality), Wise Old Man (Archetypal image that embodies wisdom). According to these archetypes, we can say that The King in AL-Rumi story  symbolizes  a Sufi who is traveling across an inner trip to obtain true knowledge of himself. In his trip The Sufi pass through dark tunnel of soil.

In addition to its physiologic and gender aspects, anima is attributed to an archetype to innate behavioral preparations and experiences of congenital life which include the abilities like artistry, naturalism, fluid emotion and affection, power of inspiration, etc. Generally, from the second half of chronological age, these values set the character on the path to sublimation, wholeness and growth by applying the skill of individuation and absorbing consciousness. As the archetype of ecstasy and emotional impulse, anima also manifests itself in a wide range of literature.

Rather than presenting examples of anima, this study with a descriptive-analytic method, tries to psychologically analyze the employment of the individuation of anima and the values of feminine body in some of the most important poems of Ibn Farez that express this process. 

The findings indicate that in his poems, the retrieval and absorption of anima’s talents have been done unconsciously. In addition, Ibn Farez has benefited from the capabilities of ideas such as pacifism, aesthetics, naturalism, and emotion to the splendors of existence, living here and now, the ability to comprehend and express excitements and inner emotions, etc., that all prepare the ground for the wholeness, subtlety and flexibility of personality.
