Spirit is not the one that creates the experience, your unconscious (and its various subsystems) creates your experience - the experience is the experiencer. A discussion of who/what I am is incomplete at best without at least some understanding of psychology, because we are far more that most people want to believe we are. The 'I' that the I-maker or Ahamkara creates is itself an 'invented thing', the an 'invented thing' creates the 'I' that is seen in the mirror.

Jung is an authority in psychology . Unfortunately I have not read him as extensively as you may have . So I simply can not comment whether he's right or wrong .
All I can say I have read lot of thing like following Christianity quotes to base my inferences and hopefully u can see its nothing eastern or western . It's simply universal.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own.
James 2:26 ESV
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
