The confrontation with the unconsciousness that lead Jung to write ”The Red Book” which brought him into
solitude. He knew there was no way to justify the gnosis imparted to him and he
was compelled nonetheless to communicate its symbolic meanings of others. Individuation
though individual is never simply an inner process, but is bound up with the
transformation of other people of the world itself : “…… the spirits of the
depths in me at the same time the ruler of the depths of world affairs (World
War 1).
“The evolution of consciousness is
based upon the phenomenological observation that clearly discernable worlds stand
out whose development or unfolding took place in mutations of consciousness.”
According to Gebser. These world structures (classified into archaic,
magic, mythic and mental).
As I wrote earlier before that observation or perception is to be
divided into several dimensions of energy :
“What lays beyond extrapolating senses from tactile
(mass) – taste (molecule/ion) – hear vibrating molecule) – see (frequency) and
intuition (resonance) ?”
Remembering Jung’s ESP project (Extra Sensory Perception) and before
that he became in a waking vision a first hint (1913) for the start of World
War I, 1 year later. This brought him in great fear and made him think he was on the way of “doing a schizophrenia”. Schizophrenia
can be considered as 2 World Views; “each acting
in solitude and refusing to interact or integrate with each other”. Later
on he admitted to himself that his dreams and visions came to him from the
subsoil of the collective unconsciousness. It was researcher Lousia Rhine who
proposed the theory that ESP starts in the unconsciousness, a storehouse of
memories, hopes and fears. Later on Jung developed upon this ESP his “Synchronicity” – an a-causal principle.
“The Red Book” Jung artfully
exemplifies for collective view the imaginal process of soul-making that can remind
the autonomous, perspectival ego of its origin in a shared substratum of myth
and magic. Jung’s practice of active imagination can aid the transformation out
of mental-rational consciousness, giving rise to the conditions, necessary for
a second birth. The current shortcoming is certainly not its verification of
a psychic totally deeper than egoic
consciousness – the Unitary and Sensory World Views with their analytical
processes (Will McWhinney). Modern psychology has turned
the soul into a scientific object. For Gebser the illuminative potential – entelecheia – of pure consciousness is definitely not restricted to spatialization and temporalization.
“But trapped in the three-dimensionality
of the mental-rational structure.”
Jung and Gebser each recognized the direness of our situation : Wakeful egoic
consciousness must come to terms with the deeper, undivided temporal polarity
constituting its psychic totality or integrality. This totallity I call this “the Spectre of Intelligence” (book "From Nomad upto Monad")
