Quote of the day

If we do not fashion for ourselves a picture of the world, we do not see ourselves either, who are the faithful reflections of that world. Only when mirrored in our picture of the world can we see ourselves in the round. Only in our creative acts do we step forth into the light and see ourselves whole and complete. Never shall we put any face on the world other than our own, and we have to do this precisely in order to find ourselves. For higher than science or art as an end in itself stands man, the creator of his instruments. CW 8 - par 737

Quote of the day

The danger that faces us today is that the whole of reality will be replaced by words. This accounts for that terrible lack of instinct in modern man, particularly the city-dweller. He lacks all contact with life and the breath of nature. He knows a rabbit or a cow only from the illustrated paper, the dictionary, or the movies, and thinks he knows what it is really like--and is then amazed that cowsheds "smell" because the dictionary didn't say so. CW 10 - par 882

Quote of the day

Just as the conscious contents can vanish into the unconscious, other contents can also arise from it. Besides a majority of mere recollections, really new thoughts and creative ideas can appear which have never been conscious before. They grow up from the dark depths like a lotus. CW 18 - par 37f

Quote of the day

Just as there is a passion that strives for blind unrestricted life, so there there is a passion that would like to sacrifice all life to the spirit because of its superior creative power. This passion turns the spirit into a malignant growth that senselessly destroys human life. CW 8 - par 646

Quote of the day

Dream-analysis stands or falls with the hypothesis of the unconscious. Without it, the dream is a mere freak of nature, a meaningless conglomeration of fragments left over from the day. CW16 - Par 294

Quote of the day

If you imagine someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projection, then you get an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow…Such a man knows that whatever is wrong in the world is in himself, and if he only learns to deal with his own shadow he has done something real for the world. He has succeeded in shouldering at least an infinitesimal part of the gigantic, unsolved social problems of our day. CW11 – par 140

Four, Part IV:
A Reflection on the Wholeness of Nature
Presented by Christophe Le Mouël, Ph.D.

Drawing from Jungian psychology and quantum physics, we will complete our reflection on the wholeness of nature by presenting a model which articulates both psyche and matter. Following the motif of the Four in dreams, we will focus on the ways in which this symbol expresses both a containing quality as well as what von Franz referred to as the "total reality." A brief review of Parts 1, 2, and 3 will be included at the beginning of the lecture.

Course Objectives:

• Describe a model of wholeness based on Jung's concept of Unus Mundus
• Describe how the symbol of the Four can manifest in one's personal life
• Give an example of the symbol of the Four as it appears in nature or the collective unconscious
