Erin,
Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, but I was too embarrassed to admit
that I didn't know what 'acausal' meant. I couldn't even think of a
sensible meaning. Today, I consulted two dictionaries and came up empty.
I've concluded that 'acausal' is a word you or Jung made up, and it didn't
make the cut into the English language because it wasn't useful. You might
complain that 'acausal' was a victim of the cultural immune system. Go
right ahead. For other words coined by adding the 'a-' prefix that didn't
make the cut, read the first and second chapters of Ken Wilbur's first
book, The Spectrum of Consciousness.
