Yes, Jung's idea is often described as the "noosphere", an ambient invisible (spiritual if you like) pool where ideas from humans from all over the world pour in, and from which ideas are taken from. His point is that you can't appropriate an idea as yours, but you can only acknowledge the entirety of humanity of it. At least that's how I see it.
And Eru is reminescent of Eros, the God of Love/desire of ancient Greece. He's unlike Aphrodite/Venus, who was the goddess of plain love.
