A Gnostic term used by Jung to designate a ‘place’ beyond
time-space category boundaries and where all tension between opposites
is extinguished or resolved (see OPPOSITES). To be distinguished
from WHOLENESS or INDIVIDUATION by virtue of the fact that the
pleroma is a given and not an achievement. The state of ‘oneness’
present therein is different from the wholeness derived from a bringing
together of previously disparate elements of personality. Nevertheless,
the condition of wholeness, along with certain mystical
states, may also be understood as an apperception of the pleroma.
The pleroma corresponds to what the physicist Bohm has referred
to as an ‘implicate’ or ‘enfolded’ order of reality lying within, behind,
underneath reality as we ordinarily perceive it (1980).
