According to Jung, the Self is "both the center and the circumference of the psyche." It’s the deepest center, but also the whole of us, conscious plus unconscious psyche.
"Our attitude must be like that of the mountain pine...It does not get annoyed when its growth is obstructed by a stone, nor does it make plans about how to overcome the obstacles. It merely tries to feel whether it should grow more toward the left of the right, toward the slope or away from it. Like the tree, we should give in to this almost imperceptible, yet powerfully dominating impulse—an impulse that comes from the urge toward unique, creative self-realization. And this is a process in which one must repeatedly seek out and find something that is not yet known to anyone. The guiding hints or impulses come, not from the ego, but from the totality of the psyche: the Self." –C.G. Jung

The unconscious constantly uses the masculine/feminine dichotomy to symbolize opposite forces inside us, because it’s such a well-known pair of opposites that we see in external relationships where people balance and complete each other.
