An atraditional course for Glenn "Jung at Heart" Bradford,
Okay I am going to do a little bit today but its not
finished.
(all taken from Ira Progoff)
I'm going to go through his book and try to
summarize each chapter so hopefully...
Chapter 1. Interpreting the Multiple Universe:
Jung and Teilhard de Chardin
1.The complexity of an infinite universe may well require
a number of interpretive principles at the basic levels
where understanding is to be acheived.
2. Alternative to causality---principle of sychronicity
as an addition and complement to the laws of cause and
effect
3. Many people have been dissappointed that the human
mind cannot be reduced to the same type of causal laws
that have been the basic tools of natural science.
4. Many have come to realize that the one-sideness of rationalism
is less an expression of the scientific attitude of an outworn
faith in a narrow version of science (aka Glenn's cult).
5. Now science is no longer being conceived in the terms
of a restrictive rationalism but is understood in the full genera
meaning of the word science, as knowing, as man's total quest
for knowledge (i.e Glenn seeing the dharmakaya light after reading
my series of my posts and will not only cheer Jung but finally
at long last Pirsig too)
6. After discussion with physicists Bohr, Pauli, and Einstein Jung noted
the simiarity between atom and psyche, the idea came that if great
sums of energy could be released by breaking the elemental
unit of the atom, equivalent sums of energy might be brought forth
if the depths of the psyche could be opened in a comparable way.
7. One distinguishing quality of sychronicity is that it
includes nonphysical as well as physical phenomena and it
perceives thse in noncausal but meaningful relationship to one
another
8. makes it possible to comprehend phenomena in which
the psyche of man is involved at deeper than conscious
levels
9. In Teilhard's schematic view, the process of evolution
proceeds through a succession of shperes culminating in the
Noosphere...lists barysphere,lithoshpere, hydrosphere,atmostphere,
stratoshper, bioshpere, and ultimately the noosphere (explains this in more
detail with noting that Teilhard's general conception that in the Noosphere an
intepretive principle in addition to causality and organic teleology is
required in order to comprehend the events that take place in it)
10.Teilhard's view of spiritual evolution expands the perspective
of time and within that context the Synchronicity principle can play an
important role both as a hypothesis for science and as way of experience at
the frotnal edge of life where further evolution is occurring.
one chapter down, ten to go
acheers,
Erin
