Jung on time and space
There are these peculiar faculties of the psyche, that it isn't entirely confined to space and time, you can have dreams or visions of the future, you can see around corners and such things, only ignorance denies these facts. - Carl Jung
"only the heart can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." St. Antioine de Exupery
I'm not saying this over and against the previous comment. Just another viewpoint.
I haven't studied Jung, only read some of his writings. For awhile I was into him, but I felt he didn't go far enough in exploring the edges of the "unknown". His theory on archetypes was amazing and brought something brand new to the literature. But he didn't tackle the God problem, as far as I know. His dad was a minister, and I think he shied away from the whole Christian notion of God. For me, I wished he would have gone into that.
Allow me to rephrase my comment, Carl baby : "I don't know if these facts are real. At least, here and now. But don't get all psyched out just because of what I said, ya? No need to see red."

ReplyDeleteUm... I'm not sure about that, Mr Jung.
But maybe I'm just ignorant. ;-)
Signalroom,
It was actually "Antoine de St-Exupéry". "Saint" was just part of his name, not a Church decree.
But he was a great man. :-)
