I keep coming back to an idea by Carl #Jung: that individuation requires us to be as organized as cultural forces opposing our individuation.

Fortunately, I think that Jung overstated the case.

What is necessary, I think, is that you stick to your values -- especially when you see others comprising theirs.

Do not give up on compassion. Do not give up on kindness. And never stop striving for consistency, completeness, and accuracy in your understanding of reality.

The stumbling block, to both Pauli and Jung, was that the models of their ‘mentors’ could not cope with the irrational, an element which they associated with the occurrence of the ‘unique’, the ever present creative act of nature, which cannot be grasped within a rational scheme.

As always in the recollection of history there is more than one version and more research is needed for us to obtain a fair picture…

Continued thread

The seeds of this book…began to germinate with the discovery of Pauli’s extensive and original collection of letters. It is these unique and exciting letters that form the greater part of my material. It is therefore natural for me to make Wolfgang Pauli and his interest in Jung’s psychology the central theme of my study.

The main question that I shall attempt to answer is: Why was Pauli interested in Jung’s psychology and in what respect?

“Science is the tool of the Western mind, and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. It is part and parcel of our knowledge, and obscures our insight only when it holds that the understanding given by it is the only kind there is.” —C.G. Jung.

That is: science, and its way of looking at the world (third-person, “objective”) is not the only valid source of understanding.

Buddhist meditators, for example, use other ways, such as introspection, to gain understanding (sometimes not even the mind or reasoning!). First hand experience can’t be substituted by theories. Maps are not the terrain.
