Collective unconscious and materiality

 From Chapter 1:

"In this book, I shall argue that it does not. To the contrary, true
expansion is always both internal and external, both mental and
material. More specifically, I shall argue (a) that expansive
processes can indeed be analyzed and modelled; (b) that the gateway
to understanding expansion is neither the concept of collective
unconscious nor that of perspective but the concept of activity; (c)
that expansive processes are becoming integrated into processes of
learning, i.e., that a historically new advanced type of learning -
learning by expanding - is currently emerging in various fields of
societal practice."

YE says that the collective unconscious cannot be a gateway to
understanding expansion. Is that assertion simply because that
concept doesn't answer questions concerning materiality? Is
materiality an axiom that automatically trumps the collective
unconscious or a pre-given context that cannot be transcended?
