Where Do We Go From Here?

Our conversation will begin with a look at the key turning points in Jung’s creativity life as explored in Sparks’ new book The Call of Destiny: An Introduction to Carl Jung’s Major Works (2023). From there we will explore the matter and spirit issue as reflected on by Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz. We will look at the areas of accomplishment and research that his recognition of the link between spirit and matter has opened up.  These include synchronicity, psychosomatic medicine, the social function of dreams in a community, the prognostic capacity of dreams, his dialogues with Nobel laureate Wolfgang Pauli, the archetypal foundation of science (and why we should care), as well as the general theme of the convergence of Jungian psychology and quantum mechanics.
