The results were comprehended using junguiana theory and the internal logic used by the research participants. We found mostly coincidences between Jung postulations and our research participants postulations. We also find a divergene, that guides us to propose a new understanding of one aspect of the author theory, based in the umbandist comprehension of the phenomena.
