The skeptics claim that so-called
psi phenomena can’t be proven.
Here is the first -
prime example of precognition
through the dreaming function,
with verification by senior
researchers at Princeton University.

It should be noted that Nostradamus
mentions the Chaldean Alphabet, in
a letter to Henry ll, in 1558.
The star Kochab is long known
in mythology, with references dating to 2467b.c.e. It, and
a companion star are also called
The Guardians of the Pole.
Chaldean numerology was the system
used in the events described above.

Many scientists have commented on
the nature of reality, including
the Nobel laureate physicist,
Professor W. Pauli, who concluded
that “acausal events” -i.e.,
“meaningful coincidencs” are part
of our reality, and are the balance
to cause and effect. Dr. Carl Jung
used the term, “synchroncity principle.”

“such is the nature of reality,
that anyone can experience that
which is least understood.” TDL

I was always struck by how really ‘readable’ his works are.
Another work of his that really influenced me was “Modern Man in search of a soul” . He was definitely of a Mystic sort .

Russ, how cool! Thanks for sharing that with us today. The mandalas taken another way are the medicine wheels. These medicine wheels help us understand things we cannot see because they are ideas and not objects.

Lex – I think he was a mystic first – his work with dreams as guides for your waking self makes me think he was plugged into something bigger first.

Cool. What an experience to see the real thing!

He was fascinated by the idea of mandalas as maps of the psyche, which has an interesting corollary with the Tibetan practice of creating incredible mandalas out of sand and then blowing them away as soon as they’re finished. To my mind, that corresponds quite well with the inner workings of the mind.

Jung’s construction project probably fits nicely–in terms of analyzing him–with the Red Book. And i’ve always wondered if Jung was a mystic struggling to get out through his psychological work, or if his psychological work made him a mystic. I’m also disappointed that he never got to analyze the Gnostic Gospels fully.
