![]() This would be the unus mundus – the one world behind appearance, as also found in the centre of the mandala. The implication being there is a single source to both the material reality around us and the spiritual life within us. Week Two: The creative source of inner and outer.Ī big dream is discussed that describes the single source behind the creation of both the outer and inner worlds. Jung’s account of the mandala and synchronicity restores what was lost in a new, psychological form. Such a correspondence was embraced by all great city states for some 4,500 years until its loss with the rise of modern science. The ordered mapping of the night skies by the priest/mathematicians of the early city states (Sumer, Egypt) allowed a cosmic model for the arrangement of life in the city below. Continuing the work of Marie-Louise von Franz in Number and Time.Ĭourse Overview Week One: Return of the correspondence principle (as above so below).The reclaiming of the quality of natural numbers – especially the three and the four and the aphorism of Maria Prophetissa.Finding a vision that unites the polar viewpoints of quantum physics and Jung’s depth psychology.Reclaiming the 4,500 year old great cultural idea of correspondence (as above so below).Finding a neutral psycho-physical description of reality.The Jung-Pauli dialogue – the individuating dream life of the Nobel laureate Wolfgang Pauli.Healing the modern split of spirit and matter / mind and matter / psyche and matter.You are a student of Jungian Studies, training candidate, analysts, therapist or academic and researcher of Analytical Psychology with an interest in: For those with a general interest in Jungian studies, this course will deepen your understandings in: mandalas, synchronicity, Jung’s reclaiming of the unus mundus and correspondence idea (that the cosmos above, mirrors life below) and Jung’s discussion of the UFO phenomena. As clinicians, we are often confronted with the effects of this neurotic split in our patients, most poignantly in those with a science background who suffer with an unmet spiritual yearning. This course will take you through an interpretation of the most important of these dreams and their implications for the healing of this split world-view from which we suffer. That is, his seeking of a solution was supported and indeed led by the unconscious, just as it was for the alchemists.Īs both a Jungian analyst and a physicist, I have followed this same approach examining the dreams of Pauli and myself, in which physics symbols unify the outer physical world with the inner world of spirit (Matthews, 2022). Many of his most profound advances on the problem arose from dreams worked deeply with Jung (see the Jung/Pauli letters: Meier, 1992). What was so unique about Pauli’s approach is its emphasis on dreams, and not just on ideas, to find a solution. Such a neutral account would also answer the psyche-matter problem that kept alchemists occupied for centuries (the mind/body problem of today). ![]() The resolution for Pauli would come from a psycho-physically neutral description of reality. The hope was a resolution to the neurotic split we all carry where our inner spiritual life is denied its expression in a rational scientific description of the outer world. It was Nobel physicist Wolfgang Pauli who, in extensive discussion with Jung, sought to unify these two extreme fields. This course journeys through the remarkable union of quantum physics and Jung’s psychology.
