Acausal connecting principle between external events and internal phenomena. Also ESP. The mean, the average, is by definition not the exceptional. The outliers are more interesting.
How did way lead me to this again? There are so many possibilities. Instead of trying to recall the most significant or the exact moment which catalyzed my purchase, let me just say I had been wanting to understand Jung’s meaning of the title from his own hand. Because once I’d heard that it was not used appropriately in most conversations among earthy peoples or spiritual teachings. And that bothered me some to think that I did not know what the originator intended. It may have been - it turned out to be - a great big difference that in application makes an equal and substantial difference.
In addition, and as I started to gather might be possible from other readings, I had wanted to learn if Jung had proposed here any possibility (perhaps even methods) of evoking the internal and external circumstances necessary to bring about a kind of magic - depending on one’s particular application thereof - and communion with the divine or both the personal and collective unconscious and creating ability. And having read and reviewed, I am not disappointed.
This is a topic and a work, however short, that I feel will need to reviewed semi-regularly or whenever I notice a tendency to operate again under the habitual preconception more popularly used and so which I could still be inclined of our age of peoples who do not verify and test for themselves. That would be too great an effort perhaps and there is much else competing with the body’s bandwidth of time and energy including it’s training to date which is designed to give it just enough to be functional and perhaps never enough to be highly functional.
Jung has again helped to further my awe of the inseparable worlds of psychology and physics. Time and space, phenomena which only exist due to the observer and therefore relative to consciousness, are created by and collapsed for the purpose of influencing the reality of the seer to match their intent.
Again, review will be needed. Further study of this and related topics also required.
