A Reflection on the Wholeness of Nature
Presented by Christophe Le Mouël, Ph.D.
Jung’s concept of synchronicity will be our main focus in this third part of our meditation on the wholeness of Nature. According to Jung, synchronistic events represent the parapsychologic manifestation of the potential realm where psyche and matter are one. After illustrating with examples how such events occur in personal life, we will reflect on how we can make sense of them in a scientific context. A summary of previous lecture parts relevant to this reflection will be briefly given at the beginning of the lecture.
Course Objectives:
- Illustrate how synchronistic events happen in personal life
- Describe Jung’s understanding of synchronicity
- Identify possible rapprochements between Jungian psychology and physics
Christophe Le Mouël, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in theoretical physics and did research in particle physics. He has lectured in Spain and Australia on synchronicity and the relationship between physics and Jungian psychology. Most recently, his article and Summer 2008 lecture, “Spirit into Matter: Exploring the Myth of Science,” was published in Psychological Perspectives, “Chaos and Creativity.” He is currently the Executive Director of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles.
