Collective unconscious? Positive or negative?

Positive.

It is what makes us human, it is what defines us.
No matter how hard we try to make ourselves unique we are inextricably bound by our collective unconscious. It is what makes love and friendship possible. Denial of a collective consciousness is a source of hatred and fear. Don't try to pretend you're not thinking the same as all of us. It is the great river of truth that flows through us all.

In the words of Ginsberg, "everyone knows everything".

Negative. The roots of collective unconscious are deeply grounded in superstitions.

Neither of your incomplete sentences is a question. What about "collective unconscious(ness)"? If we all had it, we'd all be laying on the ground waiting to wake up.

Positive or negative what?

I wouldn't call it "unconscious", perhaps "otherconscious" or "superconscious". It is a very good thing since it means that we are all really one, there is nothing that actually divides us.

La inconsciencia privada o colectiva por donde lo veas no puede ser positiva.
