So throughout my viewing of Code Geass (both seasons) I was under the
impression that the people shown [here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LHAuU.jpg)
were an alien or ancient civilization that lived on Jupiter and were the
source of the Geass powers that had been passed down to certain people on
Earth.

Now I went to the wiki and started to read all these things about C's World
and collective unconsciousness and the crazy plan by Charles and Marianne,
which I previously assumed was just a plan to make everyone obey and have no
free will. What is the collective unconsciousness (I read Jung and it doesn't
seem to relate)? I'm really interested in what that all means and what does
this have to do with people's souls and the Code Geass universe's take on life
after death and the like. I don't really understand any of this, somehow I
slept through it all. Also, what was the guarantee that it would succeed? Is
the World of C a product of an ancient civilization or is it a mechanism of
the Code Geass universe?

So can anyone fill me in? Any official writings about this or explanations?

What is C's World?


There's not too much information on C's World (World of C) or the imagery used
in connection to it. It hasn't been officially explained so until a new canon
Code Geass series is released (R3, a canon prequel like Jet Black Renya) the
only information we have will come from the series and interpretations on what
isn't fully explained.

What information there is all seems to point to how C's world is the
"collective human unconsciousness" which is the source of the individual
identities for all humans. Charles plan was to kill this so that everyone
became a single identity (thus removing one of the main reason wars start) by
using the Sword of Akasha, a temple-like structure which Charles refereed to
as a "weapon" which was built by someone else as Britannia (particular
Charles) only found it.

C's world is connected to both the living and the dead as when C.C shoots Mao
she says

> I'll see you again in C's World

Now we know that C.C's wish

> was to be free of her immortality to be allowed to die

So her line assumes that when her wish is granted she would see Mao.

There's a Theory that C's World may be one of Jupiter's Moons or Jupiter
itself as when the characters are at the Sword of Akasha and in the visions
Lelouch sees we keep seeing Jupiter. However we can only assume that this
planet is Jupiter because it looks like it. It should be noted that the times
we see C's world is when the Sword of Akasha comes into play.

C's World also seems to be deeply connected to Geass as entry to it could only
be done by/with the help of someone with Geass (Contractee or Code Bearer) as
Suzaku is only brought to the sword by Charles or C.C. When Lelouch receives
his Contract for C.C we keep seeing the same imagery involving Jupiter, the
Sword of Akasha, and the Geass People.

> Also, what was the guarantee that it would succeed?

It's implied that the collective human unconsciousness wanted Charles to
succeed because it would have ended war since not once did it try and stop
Charles or V.V but Lelouch influenced this to continue the march of time
indicating the world would be stagnate and trapped in the past.

My own theory is that the Code made Charles untouchable as to activate
Ragnarok originally required 2 Codes. (However after Lelouch saves C.C before
Ragnarok is activated Charles is still able to activate it). Whoever built the
Sword first probably knew that what happened to Charles and Marianne would
happen to them so made it that the Code was required as well. While Marianne
could have been killed at any time doing so would have done little to stop it
so as long as one collaborator had the Code the plan would in some way
succeed. Of course this relies on the fact that Lelouch's second sigil is a
result of him obtaining Charles Code and that the Code can't be destroyed
(thus why the Code Bearer who C.C got her code from said she had tricked C.C
and forced the Code onto her).

At the current time C's World and the imagery used in connection to it hasn't
been officially explained so until a new canon Code Geass series is released
(R3, a canon prequel like Jet Black Renya) we won't have too much information
to go by.

Its basically the universal consciousness of all beings. Individuality is born
from there and returned to there, and the combination of everyone's
consciousness constituting "God". Very similar to principles of many eastern
religions like Hinduism/Buddhism or philosophies like Omega Point or
Consciousness Singularity. The movie Avatar also has something very similar to
this. The Na'vi's follow a God called Eywa. Eywa was their world's universal
consciousness where all the planets creatures memories/experiences returned to
a central planetary neutral network which can be tapped into by future
generations and contributed by future generations. Eywa in turn contributes to
the shaping events on the planet. Sorry for the avatar seg-way but figured
that was the easiest way to grasp it other than to read up on eastern
philosophies.
